⚡ Option HP/HC Profitability Rule
Under Option Heures Pleines / Heures Creuses, the standing subscription is approximately 8% to 12% higher, and daytime peak hours (16 hours) cost more than Option Base. To make HP/HC financially viable, a household must shift at least 35% to 40% of total electrical load (water heater, dishwasher, EV charging) into night-time off-peak hours.
