When demand is down it is cheaper. Also cheaper during certain parts of the year.

For us (Sacramento, CA) it's 7pm I think.

Electricity would be cheaper during certain times of the day because usage differs during different times of the day... electricity is more expensive during "peak" times (Morning)

What're you going to do? Cook, do your laundry? Take a long shower?

Those things probably use the most electricity.

Some places are weird like that... like NY and CA. They charge two rates. :disgust:
