Upload your utility bill to confirm billing accuracy, understand rate competitiveness, and see how your usage compares — based on your actual bill.
Duke Energy's current residential plans do not use time-of-use peak/off-peak pricing — the standard Residential Service (RS) plan charges ~14.5¢/kWh regardless of when you use electricity. If Duke Energy rolls out a time-of-use option in the future, peak hours would typically fall during weekday afternoons and early evenings when grid demand is highest. Until then, shifting usage away from peak hours won't reduce your bill, but reducing overall usage (efficient appliances, LED lighting, better insulation) still will.
