Special Electric Rate Programs

Take control of your energy costs with our specialized rate programs. By participating in our off-peak and time-of-use options, you can significantly reduce your monthly electric bill. Click the programs below to learn more about how they work and how to enroll.

The Dual Fuel Off-Peak Program helps members reduce heating costs by using electricity as a primary heating source alongside a backup fuel system such as propane, natural gas, or fuel oil.

Participating electric heating equipment is billed on a discounted off-peak rate. During periods of high electric demand or system constraints, PPCS may temporarily interrupt electric service to the heating equipment. When an interruption occurs, your backup heating system automatically takes over to maintain comfort in your home or business.

Benefits

Lower heating costs through discounted electric rates
Automatic transition to backup heat during control periods
Reduced strain on the electric grid during peak demand periods
Supports efficient use of the cooperative's electric system
Common qualifying equipment includes electric heat, boilers, heat pumps, and water heaters

Program Details

The Storage Off-Peak Program is designed for electric thermal storage systems that store heat during off-peak hours and release it throughout the day.

Common qualifying equipment includes electric thermal storage furnaces, ETS room heaters, large water heaters, and other approved storage technologies. These systems charge during periods when electricity demand is lower, and energy costs are reduced.

Benefits

Access to discounted off-peak electric rates
Lower operating costs for electric heating and water heating
Improved utilization of electric generation resources
Reliable comfort through stored thermal energy

The EV Time-of-Use Rate rewards members for charging their electric vehicles during periods when demand on the electric system is lower.

Members who enroll in the EV TOU program receive a dedicated electric vehicle rate that offers lower energy costs during off-peak charging hours and higher rates during peak demand periods. By shifting charging to overnight hours, members can significantly reduce charging costs while helping maintain a reliable electric grid.

Benefits

Lower charging costs during off-peak hours
Encourages overnight charging when demand is lower
Supports efficient use of the electric system
Helps delay costly infrastructure upgrades
