As part of the stakeholder group that helped shape Rocky Mountain Power’s TOU pilot, we proposed a tiered rate for TOU Rate Option 2, which was supported by the Division of Public Utilities and the Office of Consumer Services, but was ultimately not approved by the Commission. TOU rates should encourage overall electricity conservation, shift energy consumption to times that are most beneficial for the grid, and ensure simplicity and fairness for both high and low use residential energy users. Utah Clean Energy believes that when appropriately designed, TOU rates represent a valuable tool for encouraging efficient electricity usage among utility customers. While we support the EV charging incentives approved by the Commission, we continue to see a need to expand incentives to include incentives for installing Level 2 chargers at home, where the majority of EV charging already takes place. Utah Clean Energy strongly supports the transition to electrified transportation, and we believe that an appropriately sized charging incentive is an important step towards achieving a higher adoption rate of electric vehicles in Utah. TOU Pilot participants will also receive bill credits in the event that their total annual energy costs as a program participant are more than 10% higher than the costs they would have otherwise incurred under the Residential Schedule 1 rate. Option 2 will charge approximately $0.34 per kWh for all on-peak usage and approximately $0.03 for all off-peak usage.Īll EV owners can sign up for either of the two TOU rate options, even if they do not choose to participate in the Load Research study, and all EV owners who sign up for a TOU rate will receive a $200 incentive.Option 1 will charge approximately $0.22 per kWh for all on-peak usage and approximately $0.07 per kWh for all off-peak usage.Those who participate will be assigned to either a control group (which will remain on the traditional residential rate, Schedule 1), or placed in one of two pilot TOU rate options: Residential customers will be invited to voluntarily participate in the Load Research Study. In tandem with the Pilot TOU Rate, Rocky Mountain Power will conduct a Load Research Study to assess how effectively the TOU program influences customer behavior. The voluntary TOU rate seeks to encourage EV owners to charge their vehicles at off-peak times. In addition to approving new incentives for EV charging, the Commission approved a residential Time of Use (TOU) Pilot Rate for EV owners and a load research study.

The program is intended to increase installations of EV chargers throughout the utility’s service territory and encourage EV owners to charge their vehicles when overall demand for electricity is low (which avoids adding to “peak demand”.) The EV Incentive Pilot Program has been a significant opportunity to work in tandem with our electricity provider to outline strategies that will encourage widespread EV adoption, and in doing so, improve local air quality. To help more Utahns make the switch to EVs, Utah Clean Energy worked with Rocky Mountain Power and other stakeholders to design their EV Incentive Pilot Program.
