Critical Peak Events

Critical Peak Events

If you’re currently enrolled in the Critical Peak Pricing Rate Pilot, you have the opportunity to change or reduce your energy use during critical peak hours. By shifting your energy use to off-peak hours when rates are lower, you will save money on your annual energy costs.

Critical Peak Events are times when our team predicts that power demand will be unusually high. During peak events, your rate for energy will be:

 

ResidentialSmall & Medium Business (Rate 10)General Demand (Rate 11)

About Critical Peak Events

  1. Critical Peak events can be called between November 1st and March 31st on weekdays and up to three on weekends with a maximum of 18 total events and are limited to three events per week. It’s possible that events may occur on consecutive days, if needed. 
  2. Events last for four-hour periods, anytime between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm. Typically events are called between 7:00 am to 11:00 am and/or 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. 
  3. Critical Peak events will never occur on a statutory holiday.  
  4. You will be notified by email and/or text by 4:00 pm the day before and then again once the event starts.
