Introducing SRP EZ-3: the price plan that saves you money before 3 p.m. and after 6 p.m.

We're all looking for ways to live more wisely in the desert, especially in the summer. That's why we've created the SRP EZ-3™ Plan. It's called EZ-3 to remind you to limit your energy usage during the three peak hours of 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. every week day during the summer (May - October billing months).

Save with more lower-priced off-peak hours

EZ-3 is an optional price plan for residential customers who use 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity or more during the summer months and who can shift their usage to off-peak hours.

Customers who enroll in the SRP EZ-3 Plan save money and energy by shifting the time of day they use major household appliances, such as the washer and dryer, pool pump, and dishwasher.

On-peak hours refer to the times of day when electricity demand is at its highest. During off-peak hours, demand for energy is less and production costs are lower - making them less expensive. So by switching to lower-priced off-peak hours, you'll save all summer long.

Plan hours

EZ-3 has two time periods -- on-peak and off-peak hours. Prices are higher during on-peak hours. Both on- and off-peak hours change during the different billing months.

May-June September-October	July-August	November-April
All other hours, plus holidays off-peak*

*New Year's Day, Memorial Day (observed), Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Based on an average monthly usage of 1,870 kWh in the months of May through October and 89% of that usage in the off-peak period. A customer at this usage level would typically need to shift 15% of their current energy usage from the on-peak period to the off-peak period during the summer and summer peak months to achieve these savings. Monthly usage and ability to shift energy use to off-peak hours will impact savings. Monthly usage can be found on your SRP bill or online at srpnet.com\myaccount.
