Wheat Belt Public Power District customers now have more power than ever to manage their energy costs! All of our rate schedules now include Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing, giving residential, irrigation, and commercial customers the ability to save money by shifting when they use electricity.

Here’s how it works:
Energy costs vary depending on when you use it. During times of high demand—called on-peak hours—energy costs more. When demand is lower, off-peak hours offer reduced rates. By moving some of your energy use to off-peak times, you can lower your monthly bill.

Peak Hours: Monday through Saturday, 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Off-Peak Hours: All other times, including all day Sunday and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

That means tasks like running large equipment, charging vehicles, doing laundry, or irrigating can cost less when done during off-peak hours. Even small adjustments—like pre-cooling your home before 1 p.m. or running sprinklers later in the evening—can add up to real savings over time.

Your power, your choice.
By taking advantage of TOU rates, you can make smart energy decisions that benefit your household, your operation, and the entire electric system. Together, we can reduce strain during peak hours, use energy more efficiently, and keep costs stable for everyone.
