Electricity · Plan type
Time-of-use and free-nights plans reward off-peak habits.

Common questions
Are free nights really free?
The kWh in the free window is, but the on-peak rate is raised to pay for it. It works only if a real share of your usage moves off-peak.
How do I know if it fits my household?
Pull 12 months of usage from your utility's smart meter portal and check how much falls inside the free window.
