Time-of-use (TOU) electric rates give you the opportunity to reduce your electric bills by shifting the time of day when you use the majority of your electricity. It is more expensive for MGE to provide electricity on-peak – when demand for electricity is high. Through our TOU rate, when you shift the majority of your usage during low electric demand – known as off-peak times – you are able to save on your electric bills.
Important program details:
- When you enroll in TOU rates, you must stay on TOU rates for at least 12 months. After 12 months, you may shift back to the standard rate.
- When you opt into TOU, if you do not already have an automated electric meter, MGE will install one at no extra charge.
- MGE business customers with a demand greater than 20 kW must be served on TOU rates. TOU rates are optional for all other customers.
