Time-of-Use rates may help you save

SMECO has Time-of-Use (TOU) rates available for all residential and commercial customers. During peak times, energy costs are higher for SMECO, and during off-peak times, costs are lower. If you are billed on the traditional Standard Offer Service (SOS) rate, your cost doesn’t fluctuate based on the time of day you use the energy. But, if you select the TOU rate, your cost reflects the peak and off-peak price difference.
