Time of Day Rate

The Time of Day Rate program offers lower electricity rates during off-peak hours, encouraging members to shift energy usage to times when demand is lower. This helps reduce strain on the grid and allows customers to save money by using power more efficiently.

Time-of-Day Pricing

Adams Electric provides a rate incentive to those who can shift most of their electricity use to off-peak hours — after 8 p.m. and before 7 a.m. on weekdays or any time on major holidays and weekends.

Members on time-of-day (TOD) pay less for electricity used during off-peak hours and a higher rate for power used during on-peak hours. The on-peak rate is higher during the months of June through August than during the rest of the year. The off-peak rate stays the same year-round.

Can you save with TOD?

The average member uses 80 percent of his or her electricity off-peak and 20 percent on-peak already. If you are a residential account with average household demand and can make a few lifestyle changes, you could be a good candidate for -[TOD. Look at the list below; the more that apply to you, the more you may benefit from the rate.

  1. I don’t use central air conditioning.
  2. I work full-time during the day on weekdays.
  3. I have fewer than four people living in my household full-time.
  4. I can run the washer and dryer during off-peak hours.
  5. I can put a timer on my electric water heater.
  6. I can operate my electric stove or oven off-peak.
  7. I can keep most of the lights off in my home during on-peak hours.
