Time Advantage is a rate choice based on the time of day, season and how much you use at one time. It includes a monthly base charge, as does the standard rate.

Time Advantage offers economy pricing periods when total electricity usage is at its lowest — evenings, nights and weekends — and when the Time Advantage price is 30-35 percent lower than Alabama Power's standard residential rate. These economy pricing periods total about 90 percent of the hours in a year.

This rate may work best if you can shift electricity use to these lower-cost times. Doing so may help you save up to 12 percent annually on your power bill.

With Time Advantage, Alabama Power offers you two choices — Time Advantage-Energy and Time Advantage-Demand — giving you even more opportunity to save money and energy.
