June through September most people will be on the Variable Peak Pricing plan. This essentially means during the hours of 2pm to 7pm, Monday through Friday, you will be paying more than double of the normal rate. The weekly emails are interesting, where for me it had my usages during those days the lowest, but they still cost twice that of the "off peak" days.
Just be aware if you aren't use to higher electric bills. Expect around a 60-70% increase in your bill.
