Frequently asked

  1. What are the typical time-of-use on-peak hours in Louisiana?

    Across the 3 residential TOU plans tou.tools tracks in Louisiana, the most common on-peak window is 3 PM – 7 PM (1 plan); others run 5 AM – 11 PM and 1 PM – 8 PM. Every hour outside the on-peak (and any mid-peak) window is billed as off-peak. Exact boundaries vary by utility and plan — see each utility's schedule above.

  2. Which electric utilities in Louisiana offer time-of-use rate plans?

    tou.tools tracks 4 Louisiana utilities with at least one active TOU rate plan — 8 active schedules in total. The largest by customers served are Cleco Power LLC, Southwestern Electric Power Co, and Dixie Electric Membership Corp. They span investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives. The full list above is sorted by customers served.

  3. Do Louisiana time-of-use peak hours apply on weekends?

    It depends on the plan. Of the 3 residential TOU plans we track in Louisiana, 2 apply on-peak periods every day including weekends, while 1 restrict on-peak to weekdays and treat weekends as off-peak. Many tariffs also treat observed holidays as off-peak; the Days column in each schedule above shows the exact rule.

  4. Do Louisiana time-of-use hours change by season?

    Some do. Of the 3 residential TOU plans we track in Louisiana, 2 shift their period boundaries between seasons (typically summer and winter), while 1 keep the same hours year-round. Each schedule above lists its exact season dates.

  5. When is the cheapest time to charge an EV in Louisiana?

    tou.tools tracks 2 EV-specific rate plans in Louisiana (LA-GS-PEV and LA-RS-PEV). On EV time-of-use plans the lowest-cost window is generally the overnight super-off-peak or off-peak period; charging then avoids the on-peak window. See the EV plan schedules for the exact hours.

  6. How do I find which Louisiana utility serves a specific address or ZIP code?

    tou.tools maps 496 Louisiana ZIP codes to the utilities that serve them. Because service territories can overlap, a ZIP may return more than one candidate utility; supplying a full street address resolves it to a single utility via a geocoded point-in-territory lookup. The REST API and MCP server both return the matching utility and its current TOU period.
