Time-of-use and
rate plan optimization.

The right rate plan. The right time. The right savings.

We proactively help customers understand time-of-use (TOU) and other rate plan options—so they can choose the plan that fits their usage patterns and save money.

The challenge...

Many customers are unaware that different rate plans exist—or which plan best matches their usage.

Time-of-use and other dynamic rate plans can be complex and confusing.

Low adoption of optimal rate plans leads to higher bills for customers and missed revenue potential for utilities.

Digital tools alone often don’t drive awareness or action.

The goal is to match customers with the rate plan that fits their lifestyle—making it easy to understand, compare, and switch for maximum savings.

The objective...

The utility or energy provider set out to create proactive rate-plan optimization outreach that could:

  • Identify customers whose usage patterns may benefit from a different rate plan.
  • Proactively inform customers about TOU and other rate plan options.
  • Provide clear comparisons of estimated savings under each plan.
  • Educate customers on rates, peak periods, and how plans work.
  • Offer personalized plan recommendations based on usage data.
  • Guide customers through plan selection and enrollment.
  • Meet customers in their preferred channel—SMS, voice, email, app, and IVR.
  • Ensure accuracy, compliance, and transparency in every conversation.
  • Increase plan adoption, customer savings, and long-term loyalty.

The Alvaria Intelligence
Platform approach.

The platform unifies usage, meter, rate, and plan data to understand how customers use energy—and when.

AIP analyzes usage patterns, peak/off-peak behaviors, and plan performance to identify the best-fit plan opportunities.
