How familiar are you with time-of-use (TOU) or dynamic electricity rates?
TOU rates charge different prices at different times (e.g., higher at peak, lower off-peak). Dynamic rates vary more frequently (e.g., daily/hourly) based on grid conditions. Both aim to reward shifting usage to lower-cost, less congested times.
In the past 12 months, did your electricity bill increase more than usual in any month?
