Time-of-Day (TOD) Residential Electric Pricing - Effective in October 2018
Fort Collins Utilities will transition to Time-of-Day (TOD) electric rates for all residential customers in October 2018.
With a TOD rate, when you use electricity is as important as how much electricity you use. The price you pay changes based on the time of day, the day of the week and the season.
Learn more about TOD and what it means to you.
The residential energy rate varies based on the season (summer or non-summer) and customers' use. This rate has a fixed charge and three tiers. Electricity costs more per kilowatt hour (kWh) as use increases.
Use our free online tool to track daily, weekly and monthly energy and water use costs and the energy cost calculator (XLS 125KB) for specifics on individual rates.
Learn about programs and services to help manage utility costs and Utilities' affordability portfolio, including bill assistance options, the Medical Assistance Program and Payment Assistance Fund.
Additional information is also available to help you understand your Fort Collins Utilities bill.

Demand Rate
The demand rate is available to those customers with homes heated entirely with electricity and who submitted verification prior to April 1, 2012, as stated in City Code.
