Time of Use Pricing

For Schedule 32 businesses and organizations

Pricing periods

Time of Use pricing is different for different times of the day. We call these periods:

  • On-peak (times when demand is high)
  • Mid-peak
  • Off-peak (times when demand is low)
Time of Use period Time of Use price* Basic Service price*
On-peak 10.582¢/kWh 6.000¢/kWh
Mid-peak 6.000¢/kWh
Off-peak 3.530¢/kWh

*Your bill includes these electricity charges plus other charges that apply to all PGE customers, such as a basic charge, distribution charge and supplemental adjustments.

Times and seasons

Time of Use pricing periods differ seasonally, because people use power differently in winter than in summer, which changes high-demand times.

Time of Use is best if you use most of your electricity late at night or on weekends. If not, you will not benefit from this plan.
