How the two plans work
Schedule 1: Residential Service
- In July the first 800 kWh a month cost 17.5¢ each; then 17.8¢ above 800 kWh a month.
- An average Virginia home (1,299 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher.
- Fixed charge: $7.58 a month.
Schedule 1G: Off-Peak Plan
- Mid-peak 5 am–3 pm, Peak 3 pm–6 pm, Mid-peak 6 pm–12 am on July weekdays; 3 of 24 hours carry the top price of 30.9¢.
- The cheapest July weekday hour costs 13.2¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 17.7¢.
- January weekdays range from 14.8¢ to 27.0¢.
- Summer pricing applies May–Sep; winter pricing Oct–Apr.
- Weekends follow a different schedule from weekdays.
- Fixed charge: $7.58 a month.
