I tried to convince my power company when moving back into CA to allow me to have time of use billing, but they required >x MWh over two(?) years of usage history “to make sure customers benefit from time of use billing” or some other red tape . I have off-grid solar generation for some types of appliances, and battery storage, so ToU would be economical for me, but I wasn’t permitted.
