When you help conserve energy, you can receive credits on your bills for off-peak use.

Electricity is most expensive to produce during the hours of peak usage, so when you choose to reduce the amount of energy you use during peak hours, we can pass the savings along to you.

How Does It Work?

By signing up for the Time-of-Use rate, one of Jackson EMC's energy conservation programs, you agree to actively help reduce energy consumption during peak energy use hours (3 p.m. - 8 p.m.) from June through mid-September. By avoiding running high-energy use equipment like air conditioners and electric water heaters during those hours, you receive a lower billing rate per kilowatt-hour. It's a great way to conserve energy, and reduce your energy bills.

The last day to sign up is Thursday, May 15. In order to see the maximum benefits of the Time-of-Use rate, you need to stay on the rate for at least 12 months; however, if you decide the Time-of-Use rate isn't the best choice for you, you can be placed back on the general rate at any time. For more information, contact your local district office or visit our Web site.

* Charges do not include taxes or Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment.

** On-Peak is defined as the four-month period, June 1-Sept. 15, Monday-Friday, 3 p.m.-8 p.m. (holidays excluded).
