rates have proven effective in reducing monthly utility bills for Contra
Costa families, and that a 10% shift in on-peak use to the off-peak hours

County Energy Coordinator, and PGandE have jointly developed a project
proposal to assess the energy and cost benefits at TOU rates for low
income senior citizens and to assess the load impacts and cost effectiveness
