How PSEG Long Island’s plans work

180 (Residential Service). In July the first 250 kWh a month cost 26.0¢ each; then 28.9¢ above 250 kWh a month. An average New York home (784 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $17.34 a month. Minimum bill: $17.34 a month.

194 (Residential Time-of-Day (default)). Peak 3 pm–7 pm on July weekdays; 4 of 24 hours carry the top price of 51.3¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 23.8¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 27.5¢. January weekdays range from 22.2¢ to 50.6¢. Summer pricing applies Jun–Sep; winter pricing Oct–May. Weekends differ: off-peak all day. Fixed charge: $17.34 a month. Minimum bill: $17.34 a month.
