Fixed Time of Delivery

Take advantage of our lowest energy rate

Looking to save money? The Fixed Time of Delivery Rate is our lowest priced rate. It delivers electricity during an 8-hour period every day when demand for energy is low.

How it works

With the Fixed Time of Delivery Rate electricity is delivered for 8 hours a day, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. It is designed to work with thermal-storage systems that store energy for heating or cooling. For example, thermal-storage heating systems store heat in sand or specially designed bricks then releases this stored energy throughout the day.

If you don’t currently have a thermal-storage system and are planning to install one, generous rebates are available.
