Cut Costs, Not Comfort: Energy Solutions That Pay Off
We offer a range of money-saving programs designed to help you get the most out of your membership. Start saving on everyday services that matter to you today!
Time-of-Day Rate
Our most popular money-saving program! On the time-of-day rate, you pay a lower rate for the energy you use during off-peak hours. Saturday, Sunday, major holidays and 19-20 hours every weekday are considered off-peak. The average member saves more than $20 per month by switching to the time-of-day rate!
Our friendly member services representatives are always happy to answer questions and provide suggestions based on your household to help you make more informed energy choices and set you up for success. Check out our website details and sign up here.
Once you are on the time-of-day rate, you will receive monthly emails telling you how much you saved to keep you informed. Try it out for 12 months and if you are not sure you saved money, we will take a look and give you the better rate.
Electric Vehicles
By sending us proof of your electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid, you will receive a one-time $50 rebate as a credit to your account. You can receive an additional $50 rebate when you sign up for the electric vehicle time-of-day rate. Take advantage of super off-peak hours to charge your car for less! Send your electric vehicle information and sign up for the time-of-day rate here.
Purchase a Smart Thermostat
Receive a $50 rebate and monthly bill credits of $2.50 during the summer months (June through September) when you sign up for our Smart Thermostat Savings Program. By signing up, you get paid for allowing Piedmont Electric to adjust your thermostat through your in-home Wi-Fi a couple degrees on very hot afternoons in the summer. Learn more and apply here.
