加州電網上的可再生能源在白天最充裕而且最便宜,因為白天生產的太陽能很多。從下午4點到晚上9點這段期間,太陽下山了,太陽能減少,而對能源的需求卻隨著人們完成日常活動後回到家中打開電燈、電視、電器及其他用電裝置而達到高峰。此時會排放温室氣體的化石燃料廠開始啟動,來補足太陽能減少所產生的缺口以及能源需求的增加。於是,這個時段的能源更貴,污染性更大。
TOU費率計畫將下午4點到晚上9點或下午5點到晚上8點的電價定得最貴,藉此鼓勵人們減少在這些時段使用能源。當用戶將使用能源的時間改到早上和中午時,他們就能享用加州電網上來自更清潔、可再生來源的充裕能源,幫助保持加州的繁榮茁壯。
有,清潔電力聯盟和SCE為住宅用戶提供三種使用時段計畫。計畫包括TOU下午5-8點計畫、TOU下午4-9點計畫以及TOU頂級計畫,其中頂級計畫是專為家裡有充電式電動車、住宅用電池或其他清潔能源技術的用戶提供的。費率計畫比較工具能幫助您比較各選項,電器能源使用費用計算器則能幫您估算改在非尖峰時段使用電器用戶的節省金額。
會,SCE會在轉換用戶計畫的90天和30天前,用郵件通知符合資格的清潔電力聯盟用戶。曾將自己的電子郵件地址提供給SCE並同意以電子郵件進行聯絡的用戶可能還會收到電子郵件通知。
會根據您過去的能源用量將您加入對您家庭最佳的TOU費率計畫,TOU下午4-9點計畫或是TOU下午5-8點計畫。通知會包含一份比較表,列出您目前每年支付的金額以及您參加TOU費率計畫後會支付的金額。無需行動,會自動將您轉換到對您最有利的TOU費率計畫。加州低收入專享費率(CARE)計畫或加州低收入專享費率(CARE)計畫折扣會轉入TOU費率計畫。
目前在國內平頭式或分級費率的大多數住宅用戶會被自動轉到預設的使用時段費率。符合下列情況的用戶將不會被轉到使用時段費率:
清潔電力聯盟住宅用戶可以在預定轉換日之前選擇退出使用時段費率,方式是將您通知信函隨附的回覆卡寄回,前往sce.com/toutransition填寫線上表格,或是打電話到SCE的TOU專線:877-287-2140要求退出。您也可以在預定轉換日之後打電話877-287-2140到SCE轉回平頭式/分級費率計畫。
我們鼓勵用戶利用轉換期間有一年帳單保障這個大好機會嘗試新的TOU費率計畫,來了解計畫是否適合您和您的家庭。TOU費率計畫對那些可以避開在每天輸送電力費用較高的時段用電的用戶有利。TOU費率計畫也有助於我們的環境。請記住,我們一向歡迎用戶聯絡清潔電力聯盟,電話888-585-3788,或發送電子郵件到customerservice@cleanpoweralliance.org來詢問問題以及進一步了解您的選項。
可以,只要您參加使用時段費率後減少在下午4點到晚上9點這段電價最高的時間用電,就能夠省錢。在下午4點到晚上9點之間調整調温器,在白天或週末運轉使用洗衣機,在夜裡為電動車充電,這些都是您如何利用電費較低的非尖峰時段用電並享有更清潔能源的例子。
下午4-9點用電「尖峰」時段的省錢訣竅
有些用戶可能已經在預設TOU轉換開始前選擇了使用時段費率。如果您已經選用了TOU 4-9PM、TOU 5-8PM或TOU Prime費率計畫,您的帳戶不會有任何改變。
根據加州的要求,SCE正在終止某些較老舊的TOU費率,包括TOU-D-A、TOU-D-B和TOU-D-T,以更契合加州的清潔能源目標。如果您參加的是以上其中一項計劃,您應該會在轉換發生前60-90天收到SCE郵寄信件,通知您的帳戶將被轉到TOU 4-9 p.m.、TOU 5-8 p.m.或TOU Prime費率,會根據您過去的用電量將您轉到費用最低的計劃。請致電866-678-7964聯絡SCE,以轉到其他TOU費率之一或轉到平頭式/分級費率。如需更多資訊,請上網瀏覽sce.com/discontinued-rate-plans。
在2021年11月1日前已參加使用時段費率的用戶不符合參加清潔電力聯盟帳單保障計畫的資格。
