The biggest benefit of a Time-of-Day Rate is discounted energy pricing during off-peak hours. Off-peak hours make up 88% of all hours in a year. That means you can save energy and money simply by using major appliances like your clothes dryer and dishwasher during off-peak hours.
- Peak hours are four hours a day from 3 PM to 7 PM on weekdays only.
- Off-peak hours make up all other hours Monday- Friday, and all-day weekends and federal holidays.
If you have the Time-of-Day Super Off-Peak Rate you get the added benefit of an even bigger discount during super off-peak hours from 10 PM to 6 AM, seven days a week. This rate is ideal for overnight electric vehicle charging.

Time-of-Day Smart Tip
If you have an electric oven, you’ll save by baking or cooking any time on weekends and federal holidays which are off-peak all day. You can reduce energy use and save during the peak hours of 3 PM to 7 PM, Monday through Friday, by choosing smaller appliances, like an air fryer or microwave.

Use energy like never before!
