Energy Wise Rates can help you manage your electric bill. These rates reward customers for shifting some of their use to off-peak times, when electric demand is lower.

Energy Wise tips
Shift and save with Energy Wise Rates
Earlier cooling, same comfort
Air conditioners can use a lot of electricity. Cool your home during off-peak hours, then run your AC unit less from 5-9 p.m. to stay comfortable.
Install a smart thermostat
A smart thermostat adjusts automatically when you’re home or away, helping you save without sacrificing comfort. You may qualify for a $50 rebate and be eligible to join our Peak Energy Rewards Program to save even more.
Do laundry at the right time
Run washers and dryers on weekends or other off-peak times. For extra savings, skip the dryer and hang clothes to dry.
Hit delay on the dishes
Many dishwashers come with a “delay” button. Delay the dishes past 9 p.m. on weekdays to take advantage of cheaper electric rates.
Cook outside – or with small appliances
Microwaves, toaster ovens and slow cookers typically use up to 50% less electricity than ovens or stovetops. Using them can also keep your kitchen cooler. Avoid any electric costs by using a propane or gas grill.
Charge EVs off‑peak
We’ve partnered with Optiwatt to provide managed EV charging services free to our customers. You remain in control while Optiwatt ensures your car is charged and ready when you need it, prioritizing off‑peak hours so you can maximize savings under Energy Wise Rates.
