Electricity is unique—it has to be produced the exact second you use it. Because of this, the cost of power can change depending on the time of day. That’s the idea behind Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing.

The highest demand happens during the “Rush Hour” of electricity—5:00 to 8:00 pm on weeknights. As people arrive home, turn on the air conditioning, cook dinner, and power up devices, electricity use spikes. To keep the lights on, the grid has to quickly produce much more power.
