peak hours
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:
Try to avoid using as much electricity during peak hours to reduce your electricity bill.

: And I would not put a '5' rating unless I was absolutely sure I was right. The asker put 3 rates so obviously peak and off-peak were missing something
