[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3821431, member: 3099"] Before this year it was 3.5 cents on Smart Hours off-peak. That is why I signed up, we were getting half priced rate for 19 hours a day during the week and all day on weekends. The peak was probably the same scenario, I do recall critical being the same at 43 cents. I can attest that when I first got on it, they were capped at a fixed number of hours they could call a critical event per year by the corporation commission and I'm sure they still are, but it seemed that every year they were calling it more often. I never tracked it but it sure seemed so. My first year on it they would call it and then a few days later just as hot they wouldn't. At the end of my participation it seemed they would call it every time it hit that magic temp no matter how often. The 24 cent peak rate on the TOU seems new also. I don't remember that at all.
