How can I calculate my potential savings on the Time of Use rate?
Use the Time-of-Day Calculator in SmartHub to see potential savings. This tool will analyze your last 12 months usage to let you know if you have the potential to save and how much. If you are not sure, we recommend a trial period of shifting power before signing up. You can follow your usage changes on SmartHub to see if and how much of a benefit it can provide you. The Time of Day calculator can be found on the "Explore Usage Management" tab on Smarthub.
