Three-Level Pricing Programs
Ease demand, save money and help the environment
Energy costs can be a significant part of your monthly expenses. WPS understands and offers two programs to help you reduce those costs:
With both programs, when you shift your energy use to certain times, you're helping reduce the load on the power grid, which ultimately helps the environment. And of course, you reduce your energy costs, too.
Is one of the Three-Level Pricing programs right for you?
Three-Level Pricing may not be beneficial for everyone:
- You're a good candidate for Three-Level Pricing if you:
- Can reduce electric use on short notice, or shift electric use to lower-rate periods
- You're a GREAT candidate if you also:
- Use an electric water heater
- Use an electric space heater
- Use a large amount of electricity
- You're NOT a good candidate for Three-Level Pricing if you:
- Use very little electricity (less than $25 per month)
- Do not want to give up comfort and convenience for savings
