What is the difference between Rg 1 and Rg 2?

Rg 1 is flat: the same price at every hour, with a fixed charge of $15.01 a month. Rg 2 is time-of-use (summer weekdays: Peak 7 am–7 pm; lowest price 7 pm–7 am next day), with a fixed charge of $15.01 a month.

How the two plans work

Rg 1: Residential Service

  • One price per kWh at every hour, all year: 19.6¢.
  • Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever.
  • Fixed charge: $15.01 a month.

Rg 2: Residential Time-of-Use, Option A

  • Peak 7 am–7 pm on July weekdays; 12 of 24 hours carry the top price of 30.3¢.
  • The cheapest July weekday hour costs 10.3¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 20.0¢.
  • January weekdays range from 10.3¢ to 30.3¢.
  • Weekends differ: off-peak all day.
  • Fixed charge: $15.01 a month.
