I know, I am talking about the TOU plan offered, not the seasonal, which is why I called it the TOU plan.

It is .13KW/h during peak and shoulder times and .06 during off-peak and weekends. Off-peak is 8pm to 7am, so 11 hours.

I just don't see that plan being better than ET that is at the lower rate all the time.

Adding a Heat Pump to my current set-up vs oil to go for the HP plan would increase my usage because I would be heating parts of the house I currently don't. Unless I just heat the back area that is currently heated with electric, which I don't think is good long term but may be worth it for that rate during winter.

Well, it has been around for a few years so you can see a history of its changes and price increases, where we don't know for sure these new rates will stick around for any length of time, or if pricing will be worth it in year or 2.
