Customers on Time-of-Use electricity pricing will be charged the off-peak price on Monday, December 26 (for Christmas Day), Tuesday, December 27 (for Boxing Day) and Monday, January 2 (for New Year’s Day), for the electricity commodity portion of their bill. Electricity used on weekends and holidays is always charged the off-peak price. If a holiday falls on a weekend, the next weekday (that is not also a holiday) will have off-peak prices in effect all day.
We wish everyone in our community a safe and restful holiday season this year.
