    It’s wild to me that my utility company dropped rates from $0.11kWh to $0.09kWh off peak hours and $0.32kWh to $0.27kWh recently while everyone else’s seems to be going up.

      while everyone else’s seems to be going up.

      I can’t speak for everyone in the PJM region, but my power company doesn’t force Time Of Use (TOU) yet. The rates that this article is, I believe, talking about is flat rate.

      dropped rates from $0.11kWh to $0.09kWh off peak hours and $0.32kWh to $0.27kWh

      And my power rates are a flat $0.22kWh which may end up being cheaper for our same equivalent power usage.

      Full disclosure: I have solar panels so I don’t pay anything for most of the year and have only a couple expensive months (in the depths of winter).
