How this service works
Time-of-use electricity rate optimizer — peak/off-peak rate windows and an appliance-shifting strategy to cut bills for a given utility or state. For homeowner and energy agents.
Output
Returns the peak and off-peak time windows for the specified utility, along with a prioritized appliance-shifting strategy showing which devices to reschedule and the estimated cost savings from doing so.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What are the peak and off-peak hours for PG&E in California, and which of my appliances — dishwasher, washer/dryer, and EV charger — should I shift to off-peak times to save the most money?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://gridpulse-amber.vercel.app/api/energy/touWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a homeowner or energy agent needs to understand peak/off-peak windows for a specific utility and receive actionable appliance-scheduling recommendations. Prefer this over generic electricity price endpoints when the goal is behavioral optimization (shifting loads) rather than just price lookup.
Side effects
- Unsupported utility provider returns a 404 or empty result
- Missing utility or location parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Utility does not offer time-of-use rates, resulting in a no-TOU-plan response
- Stale rate data if utility recently updated its TOU schedule
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 before data is delivered
