Choose to Be an Electricity Bargain Hunter!

Power Smart Pricing lets you pay hourly electricity prices that are based on wholesale market prices. Prices are generally lower than the Utility Basic Generation Service (BGS) rate in the mornings, on nights, and weekends and throughout much of the fall, winter, and spring.

Higher prices are most likely to occur on weekday afternoons during the summer. You can manage your costs with Power Smart Pricing by shifting usage to lower priced hours and conserving electricity during hours when prices are higher. With Power Smart Pricing, you have more ways to save.

Help the Environment and Your Community

When you use energy wisely, you help the environment and help preserve our world’s energy supplies. By conserving when electricity prices and demand are high, you’ll help to reduce the peak demand for electricity. Lowering the peak demand helps to reduce the need to operate or build additional power plants.

Reducing peak electricity demand also reduces strain on the electricity grid, which helps to maintain reliability in your community. With Power Smart Pricing, your efforts to help the environment by using electricity wisely when demand is high could also be rewarded with lower electricity bills.
