peak hours Explanation: Peak electricity times are the hours during the day and evening when most people will be using electricity. Off-peak electricity times are when power demand is at its lowest – typically during the small hours of the morning. Because of this, a few energy providers have specific electricity night rate times in the UK when they charge less for using electricity. Example sentence(s):
