TODAY’S BEST FREE-HOURS PLANS IN DALLAS
Today’s best free nights & weekends plans in Dallas
Time-of-use plans in Dallas can make electricity free or heavily discounted during a set window, such as weekends or midday. Outside that window, you pay a higher fixed rate. These plans save money only if you can shift a meaningful share of usage, like laundry, dishwasher runs, EV charging, pool pump cycles, or pre-cooling, into the free hours. If most of your electricity use falls outside the window, the higher anytime rate can cost more than a standard fixed-rate plan. This page lists three time-of-use plans from two providers, and the lowest anytime rate here is 15.6¢/kWh. Before enrolling, check the term length, review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL), and confirm the early termination fee, as with any plan.

HOW IT WORKS
How free nights & weekends plans work in Dallas
How Free Nights and Weekends Plans Work
Free nights and weekends electricity plans are time-of-use (TOU) plans. A smart meter records how much power you use during each hour, and the plan sets a window when the per-kilowatt-hour rate is zero, such as 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. or all day Saturday and Sunday. Outside that window, a higher fixed anytime rate applies. The free hours are not a giveaway; the provider recovers that cost through the higher rate charged the rest of the time. Your bill depends on how usage splits between free and paid hours.
Free Window Types Available in Texas
Texas free nights plans fall into three main window types. Free nights, usually overnight, are the most common and suit households with flexible evening routines. Free weekends cover all of Saturday and Sunday, which can suit households that use most power on weekends. Free days, typically a midday block, can fit homes with rooftop solar or daytime usage patterns. Dallas currently has 0 free-nights options, 1 free-weekends option, and 2 free-days options, so availability can change and should be checked before comparing.
Who Gains the Most From Free Hours
Households save most when they shift large loads into the free window. Common examples include running laundry and dishwashers at night, charging an electric vehicle overnight, scheduling a pool pump for off-peak hours, and pre-cooling the home before the paid period begins. Moving a kilowatt-hour from the anytime rate into the free window reduces the bill directly. Savings grow with each kilowatt-hour moved, so the amount you can shift matters more than any single appliance.
The Honest Tradeoff Behind Free Hours
Free-window plans usually carry a higher anytime rate than comparable fixed-rate plans. If you cannot move a meaningful share of your usage, often around 30 percent or more, into the free hours, a plain fixed-rate plan is usually cheaper. Before choosing among time of use electricity plans, review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each plan, which lists the rate for each time period and the base charge. Then run your own usage pattern from your smart meter data across a few months, including summer cooling, to compare total annual cost.
HOW TO CHOOSE
Choosing a free nights & weekends plan in Dallas.
A free nights & weekends plan only pays off if you can move real usage into the free window. Confirm the free hours and the higher anytime rate on the Electricity Facts Label, weigh it against a plain fixed-rate plan, and check the term length, early termination fee, and provider rating before you switch.
FREE NIGHTS & WEEKENDS QUESTIONS
Common questions about free nights & weekends in Dallas
A free nights and weekends plan charges no energy fee during set off-peak windows, with higher rates at other times. As of Nov 12, 2026, Dallas shows 3 time-of-use plans from 2 providers, so timing your heavy usage is key.
These plans pay off most for households that run big loads like EV charging, laundry, or dishwashers during free hours. Light users often do better on a low anytime rate, such as Tara Energy's Weekends Free Plan – 24 at 15.64¢/kWh.
Free hours vary by plan. Currently Dallas offers 0 free-nights plans, 1 free-weekends plan, and 2 free-days plans. Weekend plans make Saturday and Sunday usage free, while free-days plans may cover selected weekdays. Confirm exact hours in each plan's disclosure before enrolling.
The catch is that rates during paid hours are higher than standard anytime pricing, so usage outside free windows can cost more. Compare total monthly cost, not just the free-hour promise, against Tara Energy's 15.64¢/kWh anytime rate, the lowest anytime-rate plan in Dallas.
