Secondary demand / Time-of-Use


Customers using 30,000 or more kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month for any three months within a 12-month period are assigned to this plan.

How it works

We charge a lower rate for electricity during times of low energy demand (off-peak) and a higher rate when demand is high (on-peak).

Off-peak hours include evenings from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m., weekends and holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. On-peak hours include daytime hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Customers using less than 300,000 kWh in a year and exceeding 30,000 kWh in only one month may be removed from Cg3 prices.

Charges

Facilities charge is a fixed service charge. $1.52877 for one meter (each additional meter $0.13151 per day)

Energy charge is total electricity used during billing period and is split between on-peak and off-peak.

  • On-peak $0.07686 per kWh
  • Off-peak $0.056 per kWh

Demand charge is for your highest level of demand between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. weekdays during billing period.

  • On-peak demand charge $11.354 per kW
  • Customer demand charge $1.757 per kW

On-peak demand charge is discounted in months when demand is used for shorter times during on-peak period. If on-peak use hours (on-peak energy use divided by highest on-peak demand) are less than 100, the on-peak demand charge of $11.354 is discounted by $0.06812 per kW for the difference between 100 and the on-peak hours used during the month.
