Residential and small business customers can choose between a Time-of-Use (TOU), Ultra Low Overnight (ULO), or Tiered pricing structure.
There are three options: Time-of-Use (TOU), Ultra Low Overnight (ULO) and Tiered.
With TOU and ULO pricing, you can help manage your electricity costs by shifting your usage to lower off-peak periods when possible. The price you pay for electricity depends on when you use it. Under Tiered pricing, you can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price, and one that limit is exceeded, a higher price applies.
