Best Answer

Some electricity supply utility companies offer electric power at cheaper charge rates during their "off-peak" period each day, for example in "Cents per kiloWatt-hour". (The actual charge obviously depends on what your local money is.)

The "peak" period is usully during normal daytime hours and the "off-peak" period is usually during the night. The start and finish times for these periods are controlled by a time clock connected to the electricity meter which has to be "dual-charge-rate" meter to record the total electricity used at the two different charging rates. As you don't say where you live, the best answer to help you is to advise you to contact your local electricity supplier to ask for the local electricity charging rates and the times of day for peak and off-peak electricity supply periods.
