Residential time-of-use rate participants are reminded that the winter on-peak schedule begins October 16, 2022. Please observe winter on-peak hours of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., Monday through Friday. The following winter holidays remain off-peak at this time: Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day.

Time-of-use members will continue to pay just 8.61¢ per kilowatt hour, which is also subject to the wholesale power cost adjustment credits that remains in affect for all Tideland EMC rate payers. The on-peak demand (kWd) charge will drop from $11.01 to $10.06 on November 1, 2022. As was mentioned in the September issue of Tideland Topics, changes are on the horizon for the residential time-of-use rate but the revamped rate is not yet ready for launch. Our current time-of-use rate members will receive ample notification before those changes go into effect.
