Time-of-use (TOU) rates vary depending on the time of day, the day of the week, and the month of the year (summer or winter). A start date has not yet been established for the implementation of time-of-use rates.
This information will help you make choices about how and when you use electricity.
Shifting electricity use to off-peak periods reduces the need for investment in new electricity supply projects, which will help to moderate future rate increases. It also benefits the environment by reducing our reliance on additional power generation brought on-line or imported from other jurisdictions. Many create additional pollution and are more expensive to operate.
The periods are:
- On-peak (when demand for electricity is highest);
- Mid-peak (when demand for electricity is moderate); and
- Off-peak (when demand for electricity is lowest).
These periods will be different in the summer and the winter months.
