OUC DemandLevel charge, Tier 1, homes
$5.00 a month
since 1 November 2026 · Orlando
OUC's monthly DemandLevel charge for an Orlando home in Tier 1, in dollars per month. Tier 1 is a highest 15-minute demand under 8 kW (the rate schedule: "Tier 1: ≥ 0 kW and < 8 kW"). OUC's own sources disagree on which month's demand sets the tier: the rate schedule says "The maximum 15-minute kW demand measured over the current billing period will be used to determine the DemandLevel charge tier", while OUC's page on DemandLevel says "during the preceding bill cycle". This line follows the rate schedule, because it is the document that sets the charge and the source of the line's price. Tiers 2 and 3 are $10 and $15 on the same schedule.
