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 | 12.380 ¢ per kWh |
| Basic Service price | Up to 1000 kWh: 6.329 ¢ per kWh > 1000 kWh: 7.051 ¢ per kWh |
| Time of Use period | Mid-peak |
| Time of Use price | 7.051 ¢ per kWh |
| Basic Service price | Up to 1000 kWh: 6.329 ¢ per kWh > 1000 kWh: 7.051 ¢ per kWh |
| Time of Use period | Off-peak |
| Time of Use price | 4.128 ¢ per kWh |
| Basic Service price | Up to 1000 kWh: 6.329 ¢ per kWh > 1000 kWh: 7.051 ¢ per kWh |
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.
Time of Use rates also include a 0.722 cent per kWh credit for the first 1,000 kWh used. This credit is not applicable to separately metered Electric Vehicle Time of Use option.
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.
