However, I don't want to eat only at night or watch TV or listen to the radio while I'm sleeping.
February Rates
7pm until 7am $.062/kWh
11am until 5pm $.092/kWh
7am until 11am and 5pm until 7pm $.108/kWh
Old Rates
$.068 for first 600kWh and $.079 over 600kWh
Interim time of use bill (lower intro rate) for 2094kWh was $161.54 and would have cost $158.85 under the old billing, and with the February 1 full rate for TOU it would be up to $206.76 which ends up being a 30% increase.
This has already happened back east, its going to get expense to run our tanks during peak periods.

My plan is to reverse photo periods!

I wish! I still have lots of magpies and crows hanging around that don't seem to mind. Maybe when I get my lawn installed in the summer it will keep the weeds away!
