City of Lansing - (MI) rate plans
1 residential plans are currently open to new customers. Some charge different prices depending on the hour — which is where most of the savings hide.
What does City of Lansing - (MI)'s residential rate cost?
City of Lansing - (MI) files a single residential tariff, so there is no plan to choose between — everyone served here is on the same terms. That makes this page short on comparison and long on one question instead: what does that tariff actually do to a bill?
Priced hour by hour across a full year, a small apartment on this tariff comes to about $962 and a three-bedroom house with central air to about $1,663 — an effective 19.8¢ and 17.6¢ per kilowatt-hour once the fixed charge is spread across everything used.
The one lever you do have is timing. This tariff charges 29.6¢ at its most expensive hour and 10.9¢ at its cheapest, so every kilowatt-hour a day moved from 1pm to midnight is worth roughly $68 a year. Car charging, a water heater on a timer and laundry are the loads that move; cooking and air conditioning largely are not.
Expect the bill to swing with the weather rather than with anything you decide: the same house costs around $213 in July and $100 in February. Budget against the higher figure and the summer bill stops being a surprise.
Before you switch anything
- What is a time-of-use electricity rate?
The same kilowatt-hour, priced differently depending on when you use it.
- Should you switch to a time-of-use electricity plan?
A wide peak-to-off-peak gap is a lever, not a saving. Levers need something to move.
