TIME-OF-JUICE
Time-of-use (TOU) rates are based on the time of day you use electricity and MGE's cost of supplying electricity to you during that time. If you use electricity when the demand for electricity from all MGE customers is low—known as off-peak hours—your rate will be discounted. Electricity used during periods of high demand—known as on-peak hours—will cost more. TOU rates offer customers more control over their electricity costs.
