Energy Upgrade California |
|
What are TOU rate plans
Time of Use rate plans help you to use more clean energy by using electricity during off-peak hours which may lower your electric bill. Contact your local energy provider for information on Time of Use (TOU) and other rate plans available in your area.
|
How to save energy during peak hours
How can you use cleaner energy or shift your energy use to off-peak hours? There are many ways you can power down from 4–9 pm to preserve the energy usage in your home! Plug in your devices after 9 pm to charge them overnight. Hold off chores like turning on the dishwasher or running a load of laundry until at 9pm or even the next morning so you use cleaner energy. You can also change your thermostat before 4 pm so you use less energy during peak hours. Setting timers to remind yourself when it's time to use energy in your home will make shifting your energy use habits to save money and reduce your pollution and greenhouse gas emissions even easier.
|
|
When Time of Use rate plans will be available
Time of Use rate plans are already available in some locations. Southern California Edison (SCE) and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) will begin a rolling transition that lasts into 2022. Your electricity provider will send you three different notices (90 days, 60 days, one month) in advance of the transition and will inform you of other rate options that may be a good fit for you.
|
What is a cleaner energy source?
A cleaner energy source is produced through sustainable natural resources, such as wind and solar power. They are effective and affordable sources of renewable energy. We want to shift energy production away from fossil fuels to renewable energy because it creates cleaner energy that can be used more frequently.
|
|
Why Time of Use (TOU) is essential to help California
Energy Upgrade California is a movement that encourages the community to help California “Keep it Golden” by working together toward our state’s energy goals. TOU rate plans will help you to shift your energy use habits to off-peak hours which means you will help reduce air pollution by using cleaner energy. These rates can help with saving energy, money, and the environment.
|
Benefits of saving electricity during peak hours
During peak hours, the cost of power is higher because high demand places extra strain on the current infrastructure. When you shift more of your energy use to off-peak hours, you are helping to keep California golden and you may notice a drop in your bills. Simple shifts in habit, like running your washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher in the morning or later on at night, can make a huge difference and can save you money each month. Contact your local electricity provider for more information on TOU rate plans.
