I expect some power companies have arrangements like that. In Atlanta now that we have smart meters, Georgia Power offers a discount "nights and weekends" rate. The catch is, they charge a lot more during peak hours in the summer. The rate is 5 cents/kwh off-peak, and 20 cents at peak. http://www.georgiapower.com/residential/rate-plans/nights-weekends.cshtml "Georgia Power's peak period is from 2-7 p.m. on summer weekdays for the months June - September." - Jed
