Will your bills be higher or lower in 2009?

Have you considered Power Smart Pricing?

Most pay a flat rate. No matter when you use electricity it costs a certain amount.

With Power Smart Pricing The price goes up and down depending on the demand for electricity.

The price is typically low during mornings, weekends, holidays, and cooler months. $

On hot summer weekday afternoons when businesses are up and running, the price goes up. $

Since the beginning of the program, Power Smart Pricing participants have saved an average of 10% compared to what they would have paid on the flat rate.
