It’s the idea that end users of electricity can save money by determining when they buy power, taking advantage of the pre-dawn hours when demand is low and generators are pumping out far more energy than needed.

We’re starting [out with middle school this year] but that’s almost 80 students,” he said. “That’s a pretty big commitment.”
