You could have just said, "yes."   Then pointed me at the tariff.

With those numbers, it would be tough to make it pay to go to the advanced metering and make it pay off....

On-Peak Season
$ 0.0171 (off peak cost) vs  $0.02891 (anytime cost for first 1350 kWh)   

Off peak season
Same rates for everyone

That may take forever to cost justify.

During the summer months, according to that sheet, an average household power (say 2000kwh) pays $63.43 in usage. A house using variable peak pricing (only drawing 10pm-10am) would pay $26.60 for same usage. It's hard to justify, but largely because electric is already pretty cheap in Oklahoma.

Right...    That savings only happens if you can avoid using any grid power from June-October from 2pm-7pm.
