Electric Rates -- Lowering Demand Charges
By scheduling activities with high electrical demand (like washing, drying, cooking, computer processing, security lighting or operating motorized equipment) at different times, you can even cut your electrical load and reduce the unit cost of the power you purchase. 

By reducing peak demand, you'll pay less even if your total use of electricity remains constant. 

Depending on the complexity of your business, you can reschedule high energy activities, or you may want to consider a computerized energy management system, also known as a demand controller.
