| :: U-Rate Program - Time-of-Use Residential Electric Rate |
|
 |
U-Rate is an energy management and rate program that offers eligible
residential electric customers a lower off-peak electric rate for
off-peak consumption. To benefit from this program, you must use
at least 9,000 kWh annually or average 750 kilowatt-hours
of electricity per month and be able to shift your usage to off-peak
hours. |
| What Are The U-Rate Program Benefits? |
| By using electricity at off-peak hours, you can save up to 33
percent over the standard residential electric rates, which average
electricity costs into uniform rates by kilowatt-hours. If you
have electric appliances that you can operate early in the morning
or later at night, your potential for savings is greater.
However, U-Rate is not for everyone. If you need help in making
this determination, call (951) 826-5485. Or,
you can send an E-mail and
we will be happy to answer your questions.
|
| What Are The Rates? |
|
U-Rate offers residential customers time-of-use electric rates.
In other words, the cost of electricity is based upon when it
is used as shown below.
U-Rate is based upon the sharing of cost savings with customers
for shifting a large demand for electricity to off-peak periods
when the utility's cost of purchasing power is less expensive.
