Time-of-use (TOU) rate adjustments
Federated is also introducing a new optional Residential Time-of-Use rate that can be used as an electric vehicle (EV) charging rate with three-time components. If you prefer a TOU rate, this is a great option for anyone who wishes to charge an electric vehicle; the whole home would use this rate. The rate will range from 11 cents on peak; 7.3 cents off peak and a super off peak at 5 cents. The service charge for this rate class is $35/month. Members enrolled in the TOU rate are not eligible for Federated’s money-saving load management programs. If enrolling in TOU, the member commits to a year on this rate.
