Load Control Rider

Save money by reducing usage during peak periods

Choptank Electric members billed under the General Service – Irrigation (FI) rate or a rate that includes a demand component can enroll in our voluntary Load Control Rider, which provides a credit to members who can control their electric load during certain peak periods.
