"Time of Use Pricing
For Residential
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)
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 for more information on all the
charges included on your bill.
Time of Use rates also include a 0.36 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.

I just have comfort zones, depending on the time of day and the weather.
The weather has been very comfortable lately, so we haven't been heating
or cooling. I expect that to change soon.

$45/year. That should keep you out of the poor house.
Economics 101, for dumb shits: The easiest way to make money is by
not spending it. $45/year for a few minutes reading and a few mouse
clicks works out to around $1,000/hour this year alone, with no further effort required, year after year. With a little effort I can save even
more. I wasn't expecting any presents from the power company. When they
want more money *that* isn't news.

me about $45 a year, mostly during the Winter. This time of year I
would go back and forth saving a little or losing a little--if I don't

"Time of Use Pricing
For Residential
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)
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 for more information on
all the charges included on your bill.
Time of Use rates also include a 0.36 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.
Time of Use period
Time of Use price
Basic Service price
On-peak
22.22 ¢ per kWh
Up to 1000 kWh: 12.65 ¢ per kWh ; > 1000 kWh: 13.01 ¢ per kWh
Mid-peak
16.85 ¢ per kWh
Up to 1000 kWh: 12.65 ¢ per kWh ; > 1000 kWh: 13.01 ¢ per kWh
Off-peak
4.12 ¢ per kWh
Up to 1000 kWh: 12.65 ¢ per kWh ; > 1000 kWh: 13.01 ¢ per kWh"
Except for the 4 coldest months of the year we're always under
1,000 Kwh. I don't try to heat or cool the whole place any time of
year. I just have comfort zones, depending on the time of day and the
weather. The weather has been very comfortable lately, so we haven't
been heating or cooling. I expect that to change soon.
They offer a not really guarantee that during the first year this >> won't raise my bill by more than 10%. If I does they'll refund the
difference--over that 10%. They're supposed to let me know how we're
doin'.

Since you can switch pricing at any time it's hard to figure out how
this will work out for PGE in the long run. They show you all the
numbers. I could easily game the system by choosing my pricing based on
the season. At this point I'm just experimenting to see if I can save a significant amount of money this time of year by watching when I use
power. I already know I'll save money during the Winter.
I worked for a low margin business years ago that had no choice.
They were paying a lot of attention to when they used electricity.
