Your energy rate is based on the time of day and day of the week when you use energy; use less energy during on-peak hours, between 4pm-7pm weekdays, and charge your EV during overnight off-peak hours, between 11pm-5am weekdays to save. During the winter, super off-peak hours, 10am-3pm weekdays, are the best time to use energy.
Have an EV? You have options.
If you’re an EV owner, all our time-of-use plans offer lower-cost off-peak hours that can help you save when you charge after 7pm or before 4pm on weekdays, or anytime on the weekend. Explore other time-of-use plans.
Why is this plan right for me:
Customers who select this plan can manage their costs by using less energy during higher-cost on-peak hours between 4pm-7pm weekdays. Instead, they should shift energy use to lower-cost off-peak hours, before 4pm or after 7pm on weekdays, and charge their EV during overnight off-peak hours, 11pm-5am weekdays (excluding off-peak holidays). During the winter, the super off-peak hours, 10am-3pm weekdays (excluding off-peak holidays), are the best time to use energy. This plan could be a good fit if:
-
You have an electric vehicle you can charge overnight, and -
You can use less energy during higher-cost on-peak hours, or
-
You are willing to adjust when you use energy to save
Ways you could save money on this plan:
You can save money on this plan by using less energy during higher-cost on-peak hours, between 4pm–7pm weekdays. Use major appliances like the washer and dryer, dishwasher and pool pump during lower-cost off-peak hours, and charge your EV during overnight off-peak hours, between 11pm-5am weekdays.
-
Charge your EV when rates are even lower during overnight off-peak hours, 11pm-5am weekdays (excluding off-peak holidays).
-
Save even more in the winter months if you’re able to charge your EV or use other major appliances during super off-peak hours, 10am-3pm weekdays. -
Do your laundry and run your dishwasher and pool pump during off-peak hours: before 4pm or after 7pm on weekdays, or on weekends.
Here’s how this plan works:
On this plan, your monthly energy charge is based on the time of day and day of the week when you use energy. Rates are higher during on-peak hours, 4pm–7pm weekdays, but lower all other off-peak hours. Rates are even lower during overnight off-peak hours, between 11pm-5am weekdays; this is a good time to charge your EV.
In the winter months (Nov–Apr bills), you can save even more during super off-peak hours, 10am-3pm weekdays (excluding off-peak holidays); these hours offer the lowest off-peak energy rates available.
- This plan has different rates for summer months (May–Oct bills) and winter months (Nov–Apr bills).
- This plan also has off-peak energy rates on weekends and holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Cesar Chavez Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day/Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the Friday before will be off-peak. If it falls on a Sunday, the Monday after will be off-peak. In years when Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fall on a weekday, they will also be off-peak holidays. (Weekends are always off-peak.)
- After three months on this rate plan, you’ll be able to see a comparison of plan costs — and make sure you’re on your lowest-cost plan — by logging in to your online account.
