🇺🇸 Cheapest electricity hours in California today

When is electricity cheapest in California?

Wholesale electricity prices can change throughout the day. CheapestHours uses live California market data to show the current price and the cheapest available hours, helping you decide whether to use electricity now or wait.

This can be useful for flexible electricity use such as EV charging, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, water heating and other loads that can be moved to a cheaper time.

The prices shown here are wholesale market signals, not your utility's retail electricity rate. Your actual bill can include utility tariffs, transmission and distribution charges, taxes and other fees.
