• This rate design divides a customer’s monthly energy usage into separate tiers based on how many kilowatt-hours of energy a customer uses. The customer is charged an increasingly higher rate for energy used in each additional tier.
  
  
• With our tiered rate design, customers are encouraged to conserve and be energy efficient. The less energy a customer uses, the lower the amount of energy charged at a higher rate. By staying in a lower tier, customers pay less.
  
  
• The tiered rate design helps customers identify opportunities to manage their personal energy usage and monthly bill.
  
  
• By being energy efficient, we all have the power to control our costs.
