| DR (tiered) |
Prices stay consistent throughout the day. There are no on-peak or off-peak time periods. |
May be best for you if you cannot reduce energy use during on-peak time period – currently 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. |
As you use more electricity through the month, you may cross into the higher priced tier. |
You can save on your bill by reducing energy use. |

| TOU |
Pricing changes during the day based on time period – such as on-peak or off-peak. |
May be best for you if you can shift your energy use away from on-peak times, or if your solar system is generating a significant amount of energy during on-peak times. |
 The current summer on-peak times are 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. and may be changing in December 2017. There are several TOU pricing plans. The TOU pricing plan designed for solar customers is DR-SES. |
You can save on this plan by reducing overall energy use or by shifting energy use to off-peak times. If you select this plan option before 7/28/17, you are grandfathered into the current time periods for 5 years from your Permission to Operate date. If you select a TOU plan after 7/28/17, then you will remain on current TOU periods until 12/1/17. At that point, you will move to new time period with on-peak being 3 p.m. - 9 p.m. (Pending CPUC’s Final Decision) Click here for an example scenario
Jane is an NEM 1.0 customer currently on a tiered pricing plan with a TOU period grandfathering expiration date of February 1, 2019. In July 2017, Jane changes her pricing plan from a tiered rate option to a new TOU plan. By selecting this option, Jane will have a new TOU plan with a peak period from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through January 31, 2019. When she reaches the grandfathering expiration date of February 1, her on-peak time period will move to 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
