    Some do. Of the 4 residential TOU plans we track in South Dakota, 1 shift their period boundaries between seasons (typically summer and winter), while 3 keep the same hours year-round. Each schedule above lists its exact season dates.

  5. How do I find which South Dakota utility serves a specific address or ZIP code?

    tou.tools maps 1,954 South Dakota 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.
