California’s agricultural industry account for the highest portion of the United States’ agricultural economy with 13% of the nation’s total agricultural value. Over one-third of the country’s vegetables and two-thirds of nuts and fruits come from California farmers.
California’s growers and packagers, as well as dairy and livestock, consume the lions share of electricity for the state. Agricultural solar and other on-farm renewable energies help farms lower their electricity bills and increase capital.

Time Of Use Rates
SUMMER RATE HIKES ARE TAKING A TOLL ON CALIFORNIA FARMERS AND BUSINESSES.
You may be wondering why your electricity bill is much higher lately. Even if you’re not using more electricity, your bill is most likely higher than usual. This is because we are in the summer months and IOU’s (Investor Owned Utilities like SCE, SDG&E, PG&E) raise usage rates and modify peak timing to increase revenue.
Commercial and agricultural electricity customers are forced to use Time of Use Plans. However, you do have some options for which TOU Plan, these plans are very similar in general and incur usage rate hikes in summer months, some more than others.
For most of the year, commercial customers’ maximum rates occur in the “Mid-peak” hours. But during the summer, “Peak” rates can be, as much as double, “Off-peak” rates. Typical Summer Rates begin early June and continue through September.
The following image is an example of an SCE Customer’s TOU rate schedule. SDG&E and PG&E have some differences, but the concept is the same. To find out your exact TOU rates contact a Revel Energy agricultural profession today.
For utility customers on TOU-8 plan, the rate increases are significant especially for those with Option E. Customers with Option E see their rates go from a $0.15 max rate in the winter to upwards of $0.42 in summer during Peak hours. Option D customers see less drastic rate hikes but receive much higher Demand Charges.
The following charts are real-life rates for SCE TOU-8 customers. For PG&E and SDG&E customers, rates might be slightly different but the trend is the same.
