He would also set the power rates at lower amounts at off peak times
and higher during the daily peaks.
For this to be meaningful, the consumers have to see different rates
for peak usage and non-peak usage. The utility company told us to
pump the pool at night (supposedly non-peak usage), but we are paying
the same either way. Only total kilowatt hours matter anyway.
Time of use electric meters are standard technology. Just 'cause you
don't have one does not mean that they do not exist.
We've been on time-of-use metering for around 6 years. We come out
about 20% cheaper than flat rate, even though we're here during the
day. Just the pool pump (2HP) alone timed to run only off-peak saves
us about $60/month.
