RTOU-2 (Residential Time of Use Two-Period). Peak 4 pm–8 pm on July weekdays; 4 of 24 hours carry the top price of 30.4¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 9.9¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 20.5¢. January weekdays range from 7.1¢ to 11.0¢. Summer pricing applies Jun–Sep; winter pricing Oct–May. Weekends differ: off-peak all day. Fixed charge: $14.25 a month.
