Standard Rate Plan
How to Get the Most Out of this Plan
-
Experts recommend keeping your thermostats at 68° in winter and 78° in summer.
-
Install a programmable thermostat so your heating or air conditioning isn’t running when you're not at home.
-
Watch your power use: if you use more than 600 kWh of power in a summer month your rate will be higher for that month. If you have an upgraded meter you can easily check your energy use online.

How is my rate calculated?
Generally speaking, your rate is divided into three parts: Major investments that generate and deliver energy, operating expenses including fuel for power plants and activities related to maintenance, repair, service and billing.

Does my rate change during the day or week?
If you're on the Standard plan, you pay the same regardless of the time of day, or day of the week. If you're interested in a plan that varies according to when you use most energy, you may want to consider a Peak Power Savers plan, which allows you to save if you can limit using power on summer weekdays by shifting your energy use to the evenings or weekends.
Do I pay less at nights and weekends if I'm on the Standard plan?
You pay the same rate whether you're using energy at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. This plan is ideal if you prefer convenience and comfort. Compare all of our plans to see which one works best for you.
Does the price I pay for energy stay the same throughout the year on the Standard plan?
The Standard power rate varies by season. It tends to be lower in winter (October through May), and higher in the summer (June through September) when heat and air conditioning use are at peak demand.
Why is my electric bill higher in some months but not others?
A higher bill reflects the amount of energy your home consumed. Some months, like June through September, you'll typically use more energy. You may also have paid an increased rate if your monthly energy use exceeded 600 kWh for the monthly bill you're concerned about.
