Off-Peak Advantage
Lower electric rates for shifting energy-intensive tasksBEMC’s Off-Peak Advantage is an optional rate plan that rewards you with lower electricity costs for shifting energy-intensive tasks, like laundry, cooking, and climate control, away from peak hours.
The more energy you move to off-peak times, the greater your potential savings.
