Save by avoiding the Summer On-Peak.
The Nights & Weekends rate plan is designed to pass along our savings to customers who can use most of their energy during Off-Peak hours when the electricity is less expensive to produce.
Adjusting when you use your electrical appliances or cool your home can greatly reduce your yearly electricity costs.

What is On/Off-Peak?
Since energy demand is higher during the hot summer months (June – September), generating electricity during this time costs more. This period is called On-Peak pricing and runs from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on summer weekdays, excluding holidays.
Off Peak pricing occurs during all hours not included during the on-peak period including all weekends, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
Since the electricity during Off-Peak hours is cheaper to generate we can pass those savings on to customers by offering lower rates during this time.
How Nights & Weekends works:
Nights & Weekends' On-Peak pricing period runs from 2 p.m. - 7 p.m. on summer weekdays, excluding holidays, from June to September. This is when customers generally consume the most electricity, representing the time when it’s the most expensive to produce electricity.
When you shift some of your energy usage away from On-Peak times, we’re able to pass the resulting savings directly to you. If you don't adjust your electricity use to Off-Peak hours, you may see a higher bill under the Nights & Weekends rate plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Would I save money by changing to this rate?
The Nights & Weekends rate is designed to help customers who can shift electric usage from on-peak hours (2 p.m. to 7 p.m., weekdays excluding holidays, June through September) when it costs more to generate electricity, to off-peak hours. However, we’re unable to guarantee or predict savings on this rate.
If you are not currently on the Smart Usage rate plan or Overnight Advantage rate plan, your current electric meter isn’t configured to let us know how much energy you use during on-peak hours compared to off-peak hours. We also can’t predict how much usage you would shift to off-peak hours once you are on the Nights & Weekends rate.
Is it possible that I could end up with a higher bill on the Nights & Weekends rate plan?
Yes, it is possible. It all depends on when you use electricity.
Do I have to choose this rate?
No. Nights & Weekends is a strictly optional rate.
If I switch to the Nights & Weekends rate, how long do I have to stay on it?
You must commit to stay on Nights & Weekends for at least twelve months.
