Peak Time Payback (PTP) rewards you with bill credits for conserving electricity during specified periods of time when we forecast the need for electricity will be higher than usual.
Electricity is more expensive when the demand is high. If we can reduce the amount of peak time electricity we need to buy from wholesale power suppliers, we can pass those savings on to our members who voluntarily reduce their usage during those times.
Enrollment is voluntary and open to all residential and commercial members who are willing to reduce their electricity usage during these times of forecasted high demand. There’s no cost or risk to participate, and there is no penalty for not reducing your usage.
