The rate you pay for electricity varies throughout the day. "Peak" hours between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. are a time of high demand and costs are higher. "Off-peak" hours — before 3 p.m. and after 7 p.m. — are periods of less demand and the cost of electricity is lower.
To take advantage of even lower off-peak rates, are you typically able to use more power before 11 a.m. and after 7 p.m. on weekdays?
For households with even more flexibility, we offer our lowest off-peak rates on Overnight Savers.
This rate is good for those who can take advantage of super off-peak hours between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. when demand for electricity is lowest. Scheduling washing machines and dishwashers to run overnight is one example of how you could save. The more energy usage you can shift, the lower your bill will be.
Can you shift your usage to overnight hours?
