SECO switching to time of day billing

It was a heads up for Villagers, and the OP was spot on in predicting that the first step would be to switch out our current meters. They have been switching them out, as far as I am aware, since early April 2023.

Does anyone know if they are doing this to start utilizing “Time of Day” billing? It’s where customers are billed higher rates during peak hours of the day, and lower rates during off-peak times.
I am use to time of day billing because that is how they billed for electric in my home on Staten Island. It wasn’t an issue in the winter but in the summer months when the AC was on, it made a difference. I did laundry and used the dishwasher during off peak hours. I still start the dishwasher and do laundry in the evening. I don’t do both at the same time. Maybe my bill will go down? The electric here is much cheaper than what I paid in NY. They are installing my new meter soon, so we shall see.
