So what are the actual rates?

Oh, and your other welcome package to the DAC rate? Once you have a bill in the DAC rate it will take 6 months [three billing cycles] of not being in the DAC rate for the rate to be readjusted lower.

Now, that is an incentive to reduce your electricity usage! From a public administration perspective, it does makes sense. Utilities must plan for peak usage. How they normally do this is to have spare capacity on hand to fire up when usage peaks. However, that spare capacity is usually very expensive for them, typically smaller gas-fired generators. They want to keep the peak usage as low as possible.
