Time of Use Pricing for Residential
Time of Use is no longer accepting new enrollments as of Jan. 1, 2024.
This option will expire for all current participants after Dec. 31, 2024, and anyone enrolled in this option will be placed on the default Basic Service (Schedule 7) pricing plan unless they choose to enroll in Time of Day pricing.
Save with Time of Day Pricing
Check out our newer pricing option, Time of Day. Simply use less energy during the on-peak hours of 5-9 p.m. weekdays to save. All other hours (and all day weekends) are less expensive than Basic Service pricing. This option is for residential customers only.
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)
Your bill includes these electricity charges plus other charges that apply to all PGE customers, such as a basic charge, distribution charge and supplemental adjustments. See the residential rate tariff for more information on all the charges included on your bill.

Times and seasons
Time of Use pricing periods differ seasonally, because people use power differently in winter than in summer, which changes high-demand times.
Time of Use is best if you use most of your electricity late at night or on weekends. If not, you will not benefit from this plan.
