- krallja 4y ago> We don't have discounted rates for off-hours... We do! You can call up Duke Energy and asked to be switched to the RSTC rate plan. https://www.duke-energy.com/home/billing/rates https://www.duke-energy.com/home/billing/rates If you have control of your major electricity use (HVAC, electric dryer, electric oven, EV charging), it can be a lot cheaper. The downside is if you do need to use a large amount of power during the “critical peak” period, it will cost you 35¢/kWh
- rtp4me 4y agoUnfortunately, I am not on Duke Energy (Town of Apex). Thus, no discount rate...

- rtp4me 4y agoWow - thanks for this! I had no idea. I just looked at our last bill from May, and the electrical usage was 517KWh and the cost was $68.25 ($0.13/KWh). I guess this must be the result of the on-peak and off-peak costs.
- krallja 4y agoThat’s precisely $0.1029/kWh when you remove the $15.05 “Customer Charge” base rate, so you’re on the flat Residential Service rate. You should check your usage and see if TOU rates would be cheaper overall.
