Electric rates have changed significantly over the last three years. Your current rate plan may no longer be your lowest cost rate option. Being on the right rate plan can help to reduce both your Sonoma Clean Power and PG&E monthly charges. When evaluating rate plans, you should consider your lifestyle, what times of day your household uses electricity, and whether you have an electric vehicle. If you’re able to conserve energy or shift your usage during peak hours of the day (4 – 9 PM), you may benefit from a time-of-use (TOU) rate. If you have an electric vehicle, you should consider the EV2A rate which is designed specifically for EV owners and applies to both home energy use and electric vehicle charging.
