blankletmusic Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I know not too many houses have it but if you do and if you run it fairly often in the hotter weather will you likely wind up stuck in the DAC rate for the usual period? I know the term "fairly often" is very subjective and likely has a different meaning to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bowie Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Depends on how much electric you use in those months and how much you used in the other months.Easy enough to monitor and check your usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Once one is in DAC, I don't *think* that one returns to non-DAC the next month if consumption drops... may be there for quite a while paying the higher rate. Could someone explain this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right RickS. One does not. It used to be minimum 6 months AND consumption down (never been there ourselves) so some else might be able to say how long now. I do know CFE will NOT make it easy to revert!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 If you average over 3000 KW hours during your 12-month period, you go on DAC. To get off DAC, you have to ensure that you do not reach that 3000 mark during your 12-month period. I think each client has a different 12-month period based upon when he first opened his account. I might be wrong about that. I just know that I left DAC soon after I put in solar panels and have found them to be a great investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Solar Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 6 hours ago, johanson said: I think each client has a different 12-month period based upon when he first opened his account It is computed as the average of the most recent 6 billing periods (12 months) of kWh consumption, that determines being "DAC'd" or not. So it could actually change from one bill to the next, back and forth, >>> though in reality that is not common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thanks, Go Solar. Now that you explained it, I now remember. I guess I'm getting a little old and forgetful minded. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conejorapido Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 In other words...its the average use for a rolling 12 month period 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
