Frequently asked

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

    Across the 6 residential TOU plans tou.tools tracks in Maryland, the most common on-peak window is 6 AM – 9 AM (4 plans); others run 5 PM – 9 PM and 2 PM – 7 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 Maryland offer time-of-use rate plans?

    tou.tools tracks 6 Maryland utilities with at least one active TOU rate plan — 20 active schedules in total. The largest by customers served are Baltimore Gas & Electric Co, Potomac Electric Power Co, and The Potomac Edison Company. They span investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives. The full list above is sorted by customers served.

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

    On the residential TOU plans we track in Maryland, on-peak hours apply on weekdays only — weekends are off-peak across all 6 plans. Many tariffs also treat observed holidays as off-peak; the Days column in each schedule above shows the exact rule.

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

    Yes. All 6 residential TOU plans we track in Maryland split the year into seasons (typically summer and winter) with different period boundaries. Each schedule above lists its exact season dates.

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

    tou.tools tracks 5 EV-specific rate plans in Maryland (EV, EV-TOU, MD-PIV, MD-R-PIV, and RIDER-EV-TOU). 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 Maryland utility serves a specific address or ZIP code?

    tou.tools maps 666 Maryland 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.
