Electricity rates

[jbeas176]

this is tomorrow as i am 4 hours behind you. is there a a window where rates are higher and rates are cheaper. for example, in my city the electric company chargers more for consumption between 12:00 pm and 7:00 monday through friday during high consumption hours. out side of those hours it is way cheaper including weekends. trying to figure out after my 400.00 month to challenge the the meter reading or changemy times of consumption. dolce suenos

I don't think that there are different rates like by hours. I believe it goes over in tiers based on how much kwh you use.

I know companies and business have a different rate. Residential has tiers and the more you use the more the more expensive it is. I saw this online.

• Tiered Consumption: You are billed based on the total amount of electricity you use in a month (e.g., 0-150 kWh, 150-400 kWh, etc.). The more you use overall, the more expensive the base rate becomes.
• Income Segmentation: The government categorizes households into High Income (N1), Low Income (N2), and Middle Income (N3). This segmentation dictates how much of the energy cost is subsidized by the state, regardless of whether you run your air conditioner at 3:00 PM or 3:00 AM..

Residential accounts do not receive time-of-use discounts. Falling into the R6 tier means you are paying a premium rate purely based on the high volume of energy used over the month, regardless of the time of day that power was drawn.

thanks to all. we have load controlers that you can attach to your meter and you set the max draw kwh for instance i set mine at 5 kws and things like a oven, clothes dryer wounld not come on. i had two hot water heaters and 2 a/cs. you decide what you want to run. the first to go down was hotwater heaters, folowed by the clothes dryer. the oven after that. i will ask around if such device exists in BA

my idea is if you control the load you will control the overall volume

the unit would mount next to you control panel. you can put a donut on the incoming feed. you put breakers in your panel to control different parts of the distribution, oven, a/c, hw, lights, recepts. the donut is a copper ring that reads the electrical flow
