Time of Use Pricing
For Schedule 32 businesses and organizations
Time of Use is a great option for businesses who tend to use most of their electricity late at night or on weekends. If that's not your routine, this plan won't be the best fit for your business. Review our Conditional Guarantee.
Pricing periods
Time of Use pricing is different for different times of the day. We call these periods:
On-peak (times when demand is high)
Mid-peak
Off-peak (times when demand is low)
Time of Use period | On-peak |

Time of Use price* | Up to 5,000 kWh: 20.53 ¢ per kWh over 5,000 kWh: 17.846 ¢ per kWh |
Basic Service price* | Up to 5,000 kWh: 14.508 ¢ per kWh over 5,000 kWh: 11.824 ¢ per kWh |
