Time-of-Use Savings
An Optional Rate for WPS Customers in Wisconsin
Time-of-Use is no longer open to new enrollments.
Electricity is most expensive to produce during the hours of peak usage — times on weekdays that generally correspond with business hours. With Time-of-Use, customers have the option to save on energy costs by using electricity during hours when power is less costly to produce. Time-of-Use savings hours are in effect 73% of the time, so a simple change or two in electric use can result in substantial savings.
