Power Smart Pricing could be a good option if:

• You spend over $30 (or use over 300 kWh) a month on electricity.
• You are interested in saving money by using energy wisely.
• You heat your home with natural gas or propane.
• You have flexibility and can shift some of your electricity use from higher-priced, peak-demand hours to lower-priced, off-peak hours.
• You want to learn more about using energy efficiently.
• You want to be part of a program that helps reduce peak demand on the electric grid and benefits the environment.

Power Smart Pricing might not be your best choice if:

• Rate Zone I (formerly AmerenCIPS) & Rate Zone III (formerly AmerenIP) customers: If you heat your home with electricity, you may be receiving the space heat rate that offers a lower price for electricity usage over 800 kWh per month during non-summer months. Consult CNT Energy for assistance in determining whether you are likely to benefit.

• Rate Zone II (formerly AmerenCILCO) & Rate Zone I-ME (formerly AmerenCIPS-ME): You may not benefit if you have very high winter electricity usage. Rate Zone II (formerly AmerenCILCO) residential customers and Rate Zone I (formerly AmerenCIPS) customers who were formerly served by Union Electric Company pay a lower price for non-summer electricity usage over 800 kWh per month. Consult CNT Energy for assistance in determining whether you are likely to benefit.

• You use very little electricity (typically under 300 kWh per month, or electric bills less than $30 per month). If your usage is very low, the small monthly fee of $2.25 may not be offset by your potential savings.
• You are not able to or prefer not to adjust your electricity usage during hours when prices are higher.
