Do PacifiCorp time-of-use hours change during holidays or seasons?
Yes. Peak hours and rate periods can vary by season (typically summer and winter halves) and special holidays. While some schedules like E-ELEC keep stable hours year-round, others introduce super off-peak windows or adjust peak times. Check each rate plan card above for specific seasonal boundaries.

What is the best time to charge an EV under PacifiCorp's plans in Oregon?
