ComEd’s Hourly Pricing Program Video

Are you looking for ways to save money and are flexible with when you use home appliances, like running the dishwasher in the evening?

ComEd has a rate option that's a good fit for folks who pay attention to not just how much electricity they use but when they use it.

If you get your electricity supply from ComEd, you can choose a fixed-price rate or you can select Hourly Pricing. 

On the fixed-price rate, electricity costs the same no matter what time of day you use it. 

Whether it's five o'clock at night or five o'clock in the morning you pay the same price.

But with Hourly Pricing the price you pay varies from hour to hour and day to day based on real time market prices.

The market prices are passed along to you with no markup.

If you can make a few simple adjustments to how and when you use electricity, Hourly Pricing could be a good rate option for you.

Hourly prices are often low for most hours of the day in the fall, winter, and spring.

During the summer, prices are typically cheaper during the early morning, night, and weekend hours.

You can see higher prices when there's an increase in demand for electricity.

This typically occurs during hot summer afternoons.

You can save money with this rate by shifting your heavier electricity usage to lower priced hours of the day.

For example, do your laundry and run the dishwasher when prices are cheaper. 

And if you own an electric vehicle, charge your vehicle at night. 

The program also has knowledgeable specialists that can help answer questions and connect you with program tools and tips.

By learning to shift your electricity use, you'll not only have the opportunity to reduce your electricity costs but you could also help the environment and your community.
