        My expiriment with time of day pricing for electricity is ending   
   soon. It looks like it was an expiriment for the electric company too.   
   The time of day pricing program ends at the end of 2024.   
      
       Right from the start the electric company told me I would save money   
   during the Winter, but I would lose some of those savings during the   
   Summer. That has proven to be correct. Over the past year I saved $55 on   
   time of day pricing. That's pretty good for the less than 5 minutes of   
   work it took to change my pricing model. If I could get more of that   
   sort of work I would make over $660 an hour in savings. As I said   
   before, the easiest way to make money is by not spending it.   
      
        They have been telling me I could change my pricing model anytime I   
   wanted to. That isn't completely true. I can go back to standard pricing   
   anytime, but if I do that I can't return to time of day pricing for a   
   year. They closed open enrollment at the beginning of the year. After   
   2024 PGE will not be offering time of day pricing to residential   
   customers. Last year I started losing money on time of day pricing in   
   May. This year I will return to standard pricing at the end of March and   
   pocket my savings.
