Obtain the time-of-use tariff (rate) schedule from your electric power company.

Summer weekday
Summer Saturday
Summer Sunday & holiday
Winter weekday
Winter Saturday
Winter Sunday & holiday
For each schedule, peak, shoulder and off-peak hours can be specified. Enter the time periods in the settings. Each schedule should have the entire 24 hours covered, with no gaps.
If the Saturday rate schedule is the same as weekdays, copy the weekday settings into the Saturday settings.
If the Sunday & holiday rate schedule is the same as Saturday, enable the "Use Saturday schedule for Sundays and holidays" setting.
Next specify the days for holidays, when the Sunday and holiday tariffs will apply. This can be blank if there are none.
