More ways to save with super off-peak
More weekday hours at lower prices. More opportunities to save.
Super off-peak pricing is now available weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., year-round.
With more weekday hours at the lowest prices, you have greater flexibility to shift energy use when you can—helping you save more on your bill.
Turn daytime energy use into savings
Super off-peak hours are designed to align with times when energy is more available and less expensive.
By shifting energy use into this midday window, you can:
- Pay less for electricity by using it during lower-priced hours
- Take advantage of daytime flexibility, in addition to nights and early mornings
- Shift energy use away from on-peak hours when demand is highest to help the grid
Even small changes like running appliances or adjusting your thermostat during super off-peak can add up over time.
Simple ways to save at home
Make the most of the expanded super off-peak hours by shifting energy use when it works for you:
Schedule larger appliances to run midday
Many dishwashers, washers and dryers allow you to schedule cycles to run automatically during super off‑peak hours—even if you’re not home.
Pre-cool or pre-heat your home
If you have a programmable thermostat, use it to pre-cool or pre-heat your home during super off-peak so that your system uses less energy during on-peak hours.
Close blinds or shades after pre‑cooling
After cooling your home during super off‑peak hours, closing blinds or curtains can help keep indoor temperatures more stable.
Adjust pool or spa equipment schedules
If you have a pool or spa, run pumps, heaters or cleaning cycles during super off‑peak hours to reduce energy costs.
Cook or meal‑prep during super off‑peak hours
Using ovens, stovetops or slow cookers earlier in the day can reduce energy use during higher‑priced evening hours.
Take advantage of flexible EV charging
With super off-peak pricing available overnight and midday, you can charge your EV when it fits your routine while keeping energy costs lower.

Yes. Solar systems produce energy during the day, so shifting activities like running appliances or precooling or heating your home into super off-peak hours can help you better align your energy use when panels generate the most electricity.
If you have battery storage, you may be able to store energy between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and use it later when prices are higher. This can help you use less electricity from the grid and lower energy costs.

Overnight charging is still a great choice, but it’s no longer your only option. Super off-peak hours continue overnight (12 a.m. to 6 a.m.) and now also include daytime hours. That means you can charge your EV when it works best for you, whether that’s overnight, during the day, or both.
Actual savings may vary and will depend on various factors, including geographic location, weather conditions, equipment installed, usage rates, and similar factors. Completing multiple energy-saving measures will not necessarily result in cumulative savings.
