i just signed up for 2 programs with alabama power. The first is that because i own an ev, i get about 1.78 cents off of all electricity used between 9pm-5am 7 days per week year round. The second program seems risky but i'm giving it a try...i'll know at the end of august if this is beneficial.....between 1pm-7pm my rate is 20 cents per kwh monday through friday during june-september. At all other times the rate is 5 cents per kwh and my ev rate is subtracted from the 5 cents for about 3.22 cents per kwh between 9pm-5am 7 days per week. So a/c now set to 82 during expensive hours and no laundry, electric cooking or dishwashing from 1p-7p either. The regular rate at alabama power is about 11 cents per kwh. My 4 teenagers are screaming like banshees but they'll be back to school soon.
The fun also comtinues in the winter. November through march the peak rate is 7 cents per kwh from 5am-9am (less than the usual standard rate) and all other non-peak times the rate is 5 cents per kwh. April, may, and october is also 5 cents per kwh. Sort of feel like im at a casino but if i can squeak through the summer, my other bills should get really cheap. They installed a special meter at no extra cost to me.
