Time of Use

Are you a small business customer and a night owl? You could save with Time of Use.

Small business customers

Enrollment in Time of Use is closed to residential customers, but still open for small business customers. If you’re a small business that uses most of your electricity at night or on weekends, or you charge an electric vehicle overnight, this plan may lower your electricity costs.

You pay different rates for electricity you use depending on the time of day, day of week and season. The rate is lower on nights and weekends and higher at high-demand times such as weekday mornings and evenings. If you don’t use electricity primarily on nights and weekends, you may pay more on Time of Use than on the Basic Service rate*.

Businesses with EV fleets

If your business has an EV fleet, the PGE EV Fleet Time of Use pilot may be the pricing option for you. You can tap into potential savings by planning when you charge your fleet.

Residential customers

Time of Use for residential customers ended in December 2024. If you are interested in controlling your energy bill by using less energy during peak times, consider Time of Day pricing.
