Frequently asked

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

-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
