Why we offer 黄金时段
黄金时段 offers a way to help keep energy costs low for all customers. It does this by letting 坦帕电 reduce electricity use during periods of extremely high demand. Peak demand can occur at any time, but typically happens in the morning (winter months) or afternoon (summer months) when people are cooking, 使用热水, turning on heating and cooling, 等. By reducing demand, we can avoid the need to invest in additional power generation facilities.
When you participate in 黄金时段, you’re helping to preserve natural resources, delay the need for more power plants and keep energy costs lower for everyone.
