How Do Days Free Plans With Tara Energy Work?
The Tara Days Free plan is designed to give you more control over your energy budget by rewarding you for the energy you use during the sunniest part of the day.
The 3-Step Process to Daytime Value
1. Use Power Between 9 AM and 4 PM
Go on and run the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, or prep dinner. Any electricity used during our seven-hour window (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM) qualifies under this plan.
2. We Apply Your Energy Credit
We’ll track your usage and automatically apply a credit to your monthly bill for energy charges during those daytime hours.
3. Enjoy Stability Beyond the Daytime
Because this is a fixed-rate plan, your base rate is locked in for the duration of your contract, making even your non-free electricity hours stable.

Does Tara Energy Offer More Time-of-Use Plan?

What is a Time-of-Use Plan?
A Time-of-Use (TOU) plan is an electricity product where the rate you pay changes based on the time of day or the day of the week. Instead of one flat rate, these plans offer “free” or discounted windows, allowing you to maximize the value of your energy budget by shifting your usage to those specific times.
