Price-response programs
Price-response programs Three factors determine your electric service bill ■ The
amount of electricity you use.
Time-of-use service
■ The
rate at which it’s used.
■ The
time(s) it’s used.
If you have the ability to adjust your operations in ways that shift your load from our peak demand times, you allow us to operate more efficiently. In turn, we pass on the savings to you through special rates.
We offer a variety of energy-efficient options that help you save money by reducing the amount of electricity you use and the rate at which you use it. By addressing the time you use it, effective load-management practices can help you save even more.
PowerProfiler PowerProfiler is a convenient online tool that provides customized electric load reports for large industrial and large commercial businesses with interval data metering. This information can help you gain a better understanding of your company’s energy use and related costs.
Demand Response Rates If you choose interruptible service, you allow us to use radio signals to control predetermined electric equipment during peak energy-use or emergency situations. You benefit from our greater efficiency in the form of discounted off-peak rates that can reduce your total energy costs substantially. Rebates are available for select installations on interruptible rates. See pages 19–23 for details.
By analyzing PowerProfiler reports, you’ll see if you can lower your overall energy demand and better regulate costly demand peaks by finetuning equipment and adjusting start-up schedules.
