Electricity Threshold and Rate Change November 1, 2010

For residential customers and general service < 50 kW customers who are on the regulated price plan (RPP),  as of November 1, 2010 the rate for the first 1000 kWh of electricity you use each month is 6.4 cents per kWh and 7.4 cents per kWh for any electricity you use above the 1000 kWh threshold.

 

For residential consumers, the threshold changed from 600 kWh to 1000 kWh per month as of November 1, 2009 and will be in effect for the entire “winter season” (November 1 – April 30).

 

For non-residential consumers, the threshold remains the same at 750 kWh for all seasons. All residential and most general service < 50 kWh customers now have a smart meter installed at their premises.  However, for now, they will continue to pay for electricity at the tiered RPP rates.

 

Time of Use (TOU) pricing will not be in place until the fall of 2011.
