Adjusting to Seasonal Electricity Price Patterns

With Power Smart Pricing, the price you pay for electricity is based on the actual hourly market price of power. The market prices are largely driven by demand for electricity and tend to follow fairly predictable patterns. For example, during the summer, demand for air conditioning tends to result in higher electricity prices during the afternoon. During the winter, spring and fall, prices tend to be lower and less variable, and the highest prices of the day usually occur in the morning and in the evening.

By keeping these patterns in mind, you can wisely manage your electricity usage and potentially reduce your costs. In addition, CNT Energy  will notify you in advance any time prices will exceed 13 cents per kWh. You can check day-ahead prices any time online or by calling toll free (877) 655-6028.  Power Smart Pricing, and the following seasonal tips, can help you manage your electricity costs throughout the year.
