COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Starting Wednesday, Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) customers' electricity bill will now depend on the time of day energy is used.

Wednesday, the 'Energy Wise Rates' option will become the new standard.

These rates mean if you use energy from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, officials say the cost of electricity will increase. If you use electricity on weekdays before 5 p.m. or after 9 p.m., you will see a lower price.

Those above instances do not include weekends or holidays.

CSU says by shifting usage to off-peak times, this will decrease demand and help customers save money.
