    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.

  5. What is the best time to charge an EV under Sawnee EMC's plans?

    For customers on EV-specific plans like PEV-11-L1, PEV-11-L2, the most cost-effective time to charge is during super off-peak or off-peak hours. Charging during these designated windows significantly reduces electricity costs and minimizes demand on the grid.
