Tiered Rate Billing
Determine Your Billing Rates and Thresholds
Now refer to your own electric bill. Find your tiered billing rates, and the corresponding
threshold(s) in kilowatt-hours (kWh). If applicable, add fees and taxes to each tiered base
rate to obtain accurate total billing rates, as shown in the example.
If your rates are in dollars per kilowatt-hour ($/kWh), you will need to multiply by 100 to
convert them to cents per kilowatt-hour (¢/kWh).
Enter the Billing Rates and Thresholds from your electric bill in the table below.
The POWER MONITOR allows for up to six different tiered rates.

Time-of-Use Rate Billing – Example
If you have Time of Use (TOU) billing, you are charged a different rate depending on the
time of day. There may be two rates (on-peak and off-peak) or three rates (on-peak, mid-
peak, and off-peak). In addition, weekends and holidays may be charged at a single rate
regardless of the time of day. The Power Monitor allows the entry of up to 6 time slots.
Example of a Time-of-Use billing plan:
Similar information will be available from your utility; call or consult their web site if this
information is not on your bill.
Boxed times need to be programmed into the Display.
Off-Peak rates are in effect all hours on Saturday and Sunday, and on all holidays.
