David Goldwasser's answer indicates how to get the Tariff integrated into EnergyPlus.

As far as a UtilityCost:Tariff in EnergyPlus that can do mid-peak over weekend hours, in the UtilityCost:Tariff reference a schedule name in the Time of Use Period Schedule Name field that defines those hours using the number 4 as the value for those hours. Then for the UtilityCost:Charge:Simple reference the midPeakEnergy variable as the source variable. You might want to take a look at the "Example F Seaonal Time of Use Energy " from the documentation to understand how it works.

For the monthly customer charge, in the UtilityCost:Tariff object, put the cost in the Monthly Charge or Variable Name field.
