Key Findings

  • Rate structures, fixed charges, and TOU windows differ. The cheaper option depends on your monthly usage and when you use electricity.
  • Time-of-use plans can save 15–30% if you can shift heavy usage (laundry, dishwasher, EV charging) to off-peak windows.
  • Service territory is set by your address — you typically can't choose between utilities. In deregulated states, you can change the supplier portion of your bill.
