Current Commercial Rates

With reliable service and low rates in the Traverse City area, TCLP can help your business succeed!

There are several different commercial rates, and business customers should contact a customer service representative whenever changes occur that may impact energy requirements. This could include changes to building sizes or changes to electrical equipment.

Upon request, a customer service representative will analyze your energy requirements and apply the rate that is best for you. All rates are subject to TCLP’s fuel power cost adjustment.

Powering a Greener Future:
Reduce Carbon Emissions During On-Peak Hours

For businesses, smarter energy use isn’t just about saving money; it’s about making a tangible impact on our planet. By strategically reducing your energy consumption during on-peak demand periods, your business can play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future.

By shifting or reducing your energy use during these critical periods, you can make your business’s energy consumption cleaner and more efficient overall.

Which Rate Best Fits You?

As of December 2025, TCLP is offering two rates to commercial/general secondary service customers — Eco Champion and Eco Steady, with on-peak hours and off-peak hours that vary based on the time of year.

Customers would be charged more during the weekday on-peak hours and less during off-peak hours (includes weekends and holidays).

You also have the choice to transition to the new rate over four years (Phase-In), or you can start benefiting from it right away (Non-Phase-In). Pricing would also be determined by the type of commercial service:
