What does Schedule 2 Optional Time of Day cost a year?
| Household | Uses | Per year | Works out to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment One or two people, no central air, no electric heat | 4,866 kWh | $46 | 1.0¢ / kWh |
| Family home Three or four people with central air conditioning | 9,453 kWh | $102 | 1.1¢ / kWh |
| Home with an EV Same house, plus an electric car charging overnight | 13,103 kWh | $158 | 1.2¢ / kWh |
Estimates, not quotes. We run three made-up but realistic households through this tariff hour by hour for a full year — including the way air conditioning loads the afternoon and an EV loads the small hours. Your own bill depends on when you actually use electricity, which is exactly the thing a per-kWh number hides.
What you actually pay
| Period | Rate | Applies when |
|---|---|---|
| peak | 4.55¢ up to 400 kWh | 8pm–1pm, midnight–midnight, June–September |
| mid | 0.00¢ up to 400 kWh | midnight–midnight, October–May |
| off-peak | -1.71¢ up to 400 kWh | 1pm–8pm, June–September |
Should you be on Schedule 2 Optional Time of Day?
The hour of day does not change what you pay here — the month does. Running the same house through the full year, August costs about $29 and January about $0. That $29 swing is part rate and part weather, and it is the reason a budget built on your spring bill will break in August.
Expect the bill to move with the calendar. The same family home costs about $29 in August and $0 in January — a $29 spread driven by heating and cooling far more than by anything you chose. Budget against the August figure, not the average, and a summer bill stops being a surprise.
How it compares to PacifiCorp’s other plans
Measured against the other residential plans this utility files, a family home lands 1st cheapest of 16 — nothing else here beats it for that household.
Against Schedule 4 - Residential (Single Phase), which looks like the plan you land on by default, this one comes out $1,408 less per year (93%). We infer the default from the tariff structure rather than a flag in the data, so confirm it against your own bill before you switch.
If this is new to you
- 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.
- When should you charge an electric car at home?
The single biggest load most homes can move, and the easiest to automate.
- Why is my electric bill so high in summer?
Usually three causes at once, and only one of them is your air conditioner.
