Don’t turn on all of your electric appliances at one time!
In Georgia, the rate of your electricity is determined by your demand. What does this mean? Georgia Power (as does Duke Energy in North Carolina) monitors your power usage, in GA, every 30 minutes. They look for your peak usage at any given time, and consider this “peak” that may last only a few minutes your demand.
That means that a surge of electricity will raise your rate. GA Power must be prepared to meet this demand for all of its customers, providing enough energy in case all of their customers required this “peak” at one time.
By staggering the time that you turn on all of your electric appliances, you can eliminate this peak. This helps you to have a lower overall rate, enabling you to save money, and the Green plus is that GA power does not need to increase it’s capacity.
