Image Source: OGE Smart Hours info page In Norman, Oklahoma, where I live, OG&E has a program you can sign up for called Smart Hours . On this program, during the summer months, if you use electricity during "off-peak" hours, as illustrated above, you pay less for electricity... MUCH LESS, generally around 4.5 cents/kWh vs the regular price of 11.3 cents/kWh! They claim that people save up to $200 using this program, but I was still skeptical until I read that if your electric bill goes up, they will refund you the cost of the increase! Once I saw that I had to try it!!! Looking at my comparison charts below, I'm glad I did. As you can see from my comparison charts, in June I used about the same amount of electricity I did last year (bottom) but with Smart Hours pricing it cost me almost $20 less (top chart)!!! If you haven't signed up for this, or a similar program in your area, I would suggest looking into it, you could save a lot this summe
