Time of day Electric billing rate

found this page on the way to save money page of my electricity company wondered if anyone else has changed to this billing rate and noticed a big savings because at those rates savings add up fast with 1000watters

What state are all these finding for maine? I have also heard such things as electricity being cheaper at night but never really believed it....

i wonder if my light company does anything like this??? got a link to the page? it makes sense to run lights at night, easier to cool.

Never heard anything about it where I live. Definitely would be something I would look into tho... just run ur day cycles at night.

i found its available for many states

Those double digit rates should be illegal, not pot!
