    I’m excited for time of use rates coming in the spring. 5 cents more per kWh between 4-9pm, 5 cents less between 11pm and 7am.

    I own an EV, so time shifting that load is easy, both my car and my charger support scheduled charging.

    Then I can program my thermostat to avoid peak times, and warm before wake-up in the morning.

    I may even try to figure out how to time shift my deep freeze from running in the 4-9pm zone.

    According to my usage from last year, these new rates should save me about $20 a month even before I switch my usage patterns, so my savings may be significant.
