Rochester Gas & Electric Corp · NY
When are Rochester Gas & Electric’s peak hours?
Rochester Gas & Electric’s peak hours are 7am–9pm on all 2 of its time-of-use plans. Everything outside those hours is off-peak. Weekends are off-peak all day.
At peak, SERVICE CLASSIFICATION NO. 4 RESIDENTIAL SERVICE - TIME-OF-USE RATE RSS charges 18.3¢ a kWh; off-peak it is 12.9¢ — 1.4× apart. Prices from the filed tariff.
These hours only apply if you are on a time-of-use plan. Rochester Gas & Electric’s default plan, SERVICE CLASSIFICATION NO. 1 - RESIDENTIAL SERVICE RSS (Non-Retail Access Choice), charges one rate at every hour of the day. A household that never switched has no peak hours to avoid — and no cheap hours to use.

What is it worth to move a load out of peak?
On SERVICE CLASSIFICATION NO. 4 RESIDENTIAL SERVICE - TIME-OF-USE RATE RSS, every kilowatt-hour a day you move from 7am to midnight is worth about $20 a year in the month the gap is widest. An electric car charging 10 kWh a night, or a water heater on a timer, is the kind of load that actually moves.

Hours and prices are read from the tariff Rochester Gas & Electric filed with its regulator, as published in the NREL Utility Rate Database, and drawn the same way on every plan page. If your plan is not listed here, either it has no hourly pricing or its filing is too old or too partial for us to price honestly — we leave those out rather than guess.
