Lower rates during partial-peak and off-peak hours offer an incentive for customers to shift energy use away from more expensive peak hours, which can help you save money and reduce strain on the electric grid.\n\n**How can I save money on a time-of-use rate plan?**\n\n- Shift when you use energy to partial-peak and off-peak hours. Rates during partial-peak and off-peak hours are lower than rates during on-peak hours.\n- Rebates may be available to help you conserve energy by making energy efficiency upgrades.\n\n**What are my rate plan options? Can I switch to a different rate plan?**  \n You can change to another time-of-use rate plan up to once a year. Learn more on PG\\&E's [Tariffs webpage](https:\/\/www.pge.com\/tariffs).\n\nPG\\&E also has two business storage rate options:\n\n- B1-ST\n- Option S\n\nLog into your PG\\&E online account to:\n\n- Compare available rate options\n- Select a different rate plan\n\n**Who do I contact if I have a question about my bill?**  \n Call our Business Customer Service Center at [1-800-468-4743](tel:18004684743). Our staff can:\n\n- Help you understand your bill\n- Walk you through an energy survey over the phone\n- See if your business might qualify for potential rebates and other savings programs\n- Schedule you a free, comprehensive facility assessment\n\n**How is PG\\&E supporting California's clean energy policies?**\n\nTime-of-use rate plans support California's clean energy policies. They are one of the best ways to:\n\n- Create a cleaner and more reliable energy grid by encouraging energy usage when:\n  - Demand is lower\n  - Renewable energy is more plentiful\n- Balancing the need to keep customer rates affordable\n\nMost business customers across California have already been on time-of-use rate plans for several years. They have been widely adopted by electricity providers.\n\n![](https:\/\/www.pge.com\/assets\/pge\/icons\/ic-info-note.svg) **Note:** PG\\&E does not make more money when our customers use more gas or electricity. The amount of money PG\\&E makes is subject to regulation by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).\n\n## Demand Charges FAQs\n**What is the demand charge on my bill?**\n\n- Some time-of-use rate plans include a demand charge.\n- This charge encourages businesses to spread their electricity use throughout the day.\n- When businesses spread their electricity use throughout the day, California's supply of electricity is more reliable.\n\nThis demand charge is calculated using the 15-minute interval in each billing month when your business uses the most electricity.\n\n- If you can lower your highest usage 15-minute interval, you can save.\n- Your regular electricity usage charges can be roughly 30% lower than for a comparable rate plan without a demand charge.\n\n**Why does my demand charge vary from month to month?**  \n The demand charge reflects the most electricity you used during any 15-minute interval over the course of a billing period.\n\n- It can vary depending on how and when you use your equipment from month to month.\n- To minimize spikes in your electricity use, don't use all your equipment at the same time.\n\n## More information to help you make smart energy decisions\n**Battery Storage with Net Energy Metering (NEM2)**  \n Get the most out of your investment in renewable energy.

Time-of-use rate plans better align the price of energy with the cost of energy at the time it is produced. Lower rates during partial-peak and off-peak hours offer an incentive for customers to shift energy use away from more expensive peak hours, which can help you save money and reduce strain on the electric grid. How can I save money on a time-of-use rate plan? - Shift when you use energy to partial-peak and off-peak hours. Rates during partial-peak and off-peak hours are lower than rates during on-peak hours. - Rebates may be available to help you conserve energy by making energy efficiency upgrades. What are my rate plan options? Can I switch to a different rate plan? You can change to another time-of-use rate plan up to once a year. Learn more on PG\&E's [Tariffs webpage](https://www.pge.com/tariffs). PG\&E also has two business storage rate options: - B1-ST - Option S Log into your PG\&E online account to: - Compare available rate options - Select a different rate plan Who do I contact if I have a question about my bill?

Our staff can: - Help you understand your bill - Walk you through an energy survey over the phone - See if your business might qualify for potential rebates and other savings programs - Schedule you a free, comprehensive facility assessment How is PG\&E supporting California's clean energy policies? Time-of-use rate plans support California's clean energy policies. They are one of the best ways to: - Create a cleaner and more reliable energy grid by encouraging energy usage when: - Demand is lower - Renewable energy is more plentiful - Balancing the need to keep customer rates affordable Most business customers across California have already been on time-of-use rate plans for several years. They have been widely adopted by electricity providers. ![](https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/icons/ic-info-note.svg) Note: PG\&E does not make more money when our customers use more gas or electricity. The amount of money PG\&E makes is subject to regulation by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). ## Demand Charges FAQs What is the demand charge on my bill? - Some time-of-use rate plans include a demand charge. - This charge encourages businesses to spread their electricity use throughout the day. - When businesses spread their electricity use throughout the day, California's supply of electricity is more reliable. This demand charge is calculated using the 15-minute interval in each billing month when your business uses the most electricity. - If you can lower your highest usage 15-minute interval, you can save. - Your regular electricity usage charges can be roughly 30% lower than for a comparable rate plan without a demand charge. Why does my demand charge vary from month to month? The demand charge reflects the most electricity you used during any 15-minute interval over the course of a billing period. - It can vary depending on how and when you use your equipment from month to month. - To minimize spikes in your electricity use, don't use all your equipment at the same time. ## More information to help you make smart energy decisions Battery Storage with Net Energy Metering (NEM2) Get the most out of your investment in renewable energy.
