Understanding your new Time of Use bill
With your new pricing plan now in effect, you can avoid Peak pricing by using less electricity between Peak hours, Monday to Friday. Pay the lowest rate for electricity overnight, between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m..
From your first new bill, you’ll see the Peak, Off Peak and Super Off Peak detail for the most recent billing period. As you continue to take advantage of the new pricing plan, you’ll be able to see your month to month trends.
Peak periods cost the most, just like on the LIRR so shift energy use away from the afternoon peak hours on weekdays. You’ll get the best deal when you move as much usage as possible to the low-priced Super Off Peak period from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m..
Your Energy Use By Time of Day
This chart offers you insights into the costs of energy for each time block. By moving usage out of Peak and into Super Off Peak, you can take control of your monthly bill like never before. Your new Time of Use pricing plan comes with all new tools to help you better understand your bill and better manage your usage,. You'll stay comfortable while you save money and help the environment too!
