Time of Use

At Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Inc., we offer a Time of Use (TOU) rate program that helps members save money by shifting energy use to off-peak hours. Electricity costs less when demand is lower—typically in the evenings, overnight, and on weekends. By adjusting when you run major appliances such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, or even charging electric vehicles, you can take advantage of these reduced rates. TOU not only helps lower your monthly bill but also supports a more efficient and reliable power system for the entire community.

EE

In order to benefit from Time of Use you MUST be able to coordinate most of your electric usage during the Off-Peak Hours.

This means using your major appliances such as Electric Thermal Storage Heating Units, baseboard heating (if possible), electric clothes dryers, electric ovens, irons, compressors, power tools, etc. during the Off-Peak hours. Also placing timers on electric appliances like water heaters, hot tubs, saunas and freezers to only use power during Off-Peak hours will help. Any appliance you can operate during the Off-Peak hours will lower your electric utility bill. Please use the time of use charts below for schedule of On Peak and Off Peak rates.
