It’s an effortless way to maximize savings without changing your routine.

What Are Peak and Off-Peak Hours with PSEGLI?

PSEG Long Island has Time-of-Day (TOD) rates that charge different prices for electricity based on your usage time. These time periods help you save money on your electric bills.

Peak Hours Peak hours happen on weekdays from 3 PM to 7 PM. Electricity costs the most during these four hours—sometimes up to twice the standard rate.

Off-Peak Hours Off-Peak hours happen on:

• Weekdays from 6 AM to 3 PM and 7 PM to 10 PM.
• 6 AM to 10 PM on weekends and federal holidays.

Super Off-Peak Hours The Super Off-Peak Rate plan gives you extra savings during "super off-peak" hours from 10 PM to 6 AM every day. These overnight hours are a great way to get the biggest discount.

You can save money by planning your energy-intensive activities like running appliances or charging vehicles. Moving your energy usage away from the 3-7 PM weekday window can cut your electricity costs by a lot without reducing your overall consumption.
