Pascoag Utility District

Pascoag Utility District does not publish an EV-specific or time-of-use rate. Residential customers are billed on PUD's standard residential rate, which combines a standard offer power supply charge with the district's distribution rate; the price per kilowatt-hour is the same whenever you charge, so charging overnight costs the same as charging at dinnertime. There is no off-peak discount to time an EV around. Drivers who want a clear price signal for off-peak charging will not find one here, which is common for very small municipal utilities.

PUD's customer rebates, administered with Energy New England, focus on home efficiency: heat pumps, central air conditioning, heat pump water heaters, and ENERGY STAR appliances. There is no EV charger rebate to stack with a rate, because PUD offers neither. Rhode Island runs statewide EV purchase and charger incentives through the Office of Energy Resources, but those are state programs, not PUD's, and the federal AFDC notes that PUD customers cannot join Rhode Island Energy's EV programs.

The key service-territory caveat is jurisdictional. PUD is a quasi-municipal district, not part of Rhode Island Energy, the state's dominant investor-owned utility. Because Rhode Island Energy's EV charger rebates and demand-response program explicitly exclude the Pascoag service area, an EV owner in Pascoag or Harrisville should plan around the federal tax credit and any state-level incentive rather than expecting a utility charger rebate.
