Time-of-Day hours changing April 1
For those members on the Schedule A-Time of Day rates (A-TOD and A2-TOD), the on-peak times will be changing as of April 1, 2022.
An analysis of REC’s wintertime peaks was performed as part of the 2021 Cost of Service Study, and it found SLVREC was not peaking until after 5 p.m. allowing us to be able to shorten the on-peak window. The new TOD schedule (noted at right) will help members use the off-peak hours more effectively. Even though Sunday is no longer all off-peak hours, the new TOD schedule offers members 20 more off-peak hours per week than the previous schedule did. In addition, the new schedule will help alleviate the difficulties some heaters were having getting through the 10-hour on-peak window. Meters will be reprogrammed remotely in late March.
Also, as a reminder please double check the settings on your ETS unit. The heater should say “P” during on-peak times and “C” during off-peak times. If this doesn’t match, please call customer service so we can reprogram your meter.
And finally, don’t forget there is a list of current electricians that service and maintain ETS units on our website HERE.
(Under the “Services” tab, click “Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) Heaters,” on the right there is a sliding window, which features Valley electricians).
