Rate Flex D: a further advantage
If you choose to install a central heating ETS system, we recommend signing up for Rate Flex D, the registration period for which is from April 1 to December 31 each year. You could save $200 to $300, if not more, every year on your electricity bill in comparison with the base rate (Rate D). If combined with a central heat pump, your savings could be even higher.
During winter:
Outside peak demand events, the price of electricity is below the base rate, which could mean considerable savings for you. This low rate applies to over 96% of the total hours in winter.
During peak demand events, which account for less than 4% of the total hours in winter, electricity is billed at a higher rate (53.526¢/kWh). Since your central heating ETS system automatically turns off its heating elements during these short periods, your overall electricity demand will be greatly reduced.
