Provo City Power

Provo City Power's optional residential time-of-use rate, Schedule 31, is the main tool for EV owners who want to cut charging costs, and it is open to homes with a qualifying EV charging system. It bills all household energy, not just the car, across three periods: on-peak at 17 cents per kWh from 3pm to 8pm on weekdays, off-peak at 7 cents per kWh during the remaining daytime and evening hours, and super off-peak at 4.5 cents per kWh from midnight to 8am every day. Drivers who can charge overnight pay the lowest rate, so the plan fits households that shift most charging to the early morning.

Provo City Power does not offer an EV charger rebate for residential or commercial customers, and it does not run a managed-charging program. Schedule 31 is taken in conjunction with the standard residential Schedule 1, so it changes how all home energy is priced rather than metering the vehicle separately. Customers who do not enroll in Schedule 31 stay on the default tiered residential rate under Schedule 1, which prices total monthly energy by kWh block rather than by time of day.

Provo City Power is a municipal utility owned by the City of Provo, so its rates are set by the City Council rather than the Utah Public Service Commission, which regulates the state's investor-owned utility, Rocky Mountain Power. Schedule 31 was approved by the Provo City Council on June 20, 2025, and is run as a pilot, so terms can change by Council action rather than through a formal rate case.
