How the two plans work
Rg-1: Residential Service
- One price per kWh at every hour: 16.3¢ in July and 15.1¢ in January.
- Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever.
- Fixed charge: $16.00 a month.
Rg-2: Residential Time of Day
- Peak 9 am–9 pm on July weekdays; 12 of 24 hours carry the top price of 25.1¢.
- The cheapest July weekday hour costs 10.3¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 14.8¢.
- January weekdays range from 10.3¢ to 22.4¢.
- Summer pricing applies Jun–Sep; winter pricing Oct–May.
- Weekends follow a different schedule from weekdays.
- Fixed charge: $16.00 a month.
