Time-of-use rate options (NVEnergy - Las Vegas)

[brec]

This is for a new (to me) home in Las Vegas. Currently I have TOU rates in Reno, NV, for which there is no such option.

Option A or Option B? Notice the significant differences in: the duration of "summer"; the summer peak rates; and the monthly Basic Service Charge. For comparison, the non-TOU rate is a constant $0.11335/kWh with a $12.75 Basic Service Charge.

If I knew exactly what my usage patterns will be, I could figure this out. You might have some insights that haven't occurred to me...

Does that really say 36 cents per kWh? and wait 50 cents per kWh? WOW!

That actually doesn't look that bad. Here's what we get in Sacramento:

I live in Vegas too and cant find reason to move from my single priced schedule at $0.11 per KW/h

May be I am wrong but considering the pool and the fact that some days I work from my home office can't justify the switch

Although there's a bit of bureaucratic overhead involved in switching, NVEnergy does guarantee that if, after the first year, you spent more on TOU vis-a-vis the standard rate, they'll refund the difference.

This was good to know!

Thanks for the info
