Overnight Savers helps you make the choices that best fit your household, lifestyle and budget. All week, you can take advantage of savings at night, when demand for energy is lower. There are three pricing tiers on weekdays, and the two lowest price tiers run all weekend long.
Super Off-Peak, from 1 a.m. – 7 a.m., offers the lowest price of any base residential rate so you can save on your bill weekdays and all weekend long.
Off-Peak, from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. - 1 a.m., provides flexibility to manage your energy use for savings during weekday mornings and evenings, as well as all weekend long.
Peak, from 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. on weekdays only, is the time when the electric grid experiences the heaviest traffic.

Flexibility and planning are the keys to saving money when you’re on this rate. You can reduce your electricity costs by shifting some of your energy use to 1 a.m. – 7 a.m.
Take advantage of Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak times by setting a schedule on your thermostat to automatically adjust your home temperature for different times of day and when you're away from home.
Tip: Keep the air flowing by making sure rugs, drapes and furniture aren't blocking airflow to registers.
Turn a household chore, like doing laundry, into a cost savings opportunity. Schedule your washer and dryer to run during Super Off-Peak hours for maximum savings.
Tip: Whenever possible, use the cold water washer setting. Heating the water can account for up to 90% of the energy it takes to operate a clothes washer.
Use power strips to power down TVs, gaming equipment and computer components not in use, especially during peak hours.
Tip: Check out the DTE Marketplace for instant discounts on power strips and other energy efficient products.
