How to Save on Electricity with DTE and Consumers by Simply Asking

2/5/2018

Electricity is essential to modern life. For most people the electricity in our homes is not free. Reducing its costs, even incrementally, can save real money over the long term.

Here are some discounts our local utilities offer that most people can benefit from with small painless changes in routine.  You must request the discounts be applied to your account.

Time of Day Rate

You could reduce your energy costs by requesting DTE Energy’s residential Time-Of-Day Electric Rate. The more you shift your electricity usage to off-peak hours — early mornings, evenings and weekends — the more you could save.
How It Works
This rate is available to residential customers who choose to have their energy usage metered based on our on and off-peak hours.
  • On-peak hours: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  • Off-peak hours: 7 p.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Senior Citizen Credit
  • As of December 17, 2015, DTE Electric customers age 65 and over that are designated as head of household are eligible for a $3.75 monthly credit under the Residential Electric Service Rate.
  • There is no kWh usage requirement to qualify.
  • The senior credit means a savings of $45.00 per year.​
Rates that require a separate meter
  • Cool Currents
  • Water Heater Service rate
  • Plug in Electric Vehicle rate
  • Outdoor protective lighting rate
  • Dynamic Peak Pricing rates
Here are the links to more information on these and other available discounts from DTE Energy and Consumers. Get yours today. They are just a phone call away.
