I live in California. There’s a lot of renewable energy here and demand tends to be highest relative to supply at 5pm when people get back from work. After 8pm there’s much less demand so while there’s less supply of renewable energy there’s a baseline supply from fossil fuels and nuclear that exceeds demand, so electricity is cheap again. To be honest, it’s a pain in the ass and we should have less commuting jobs as a society.
I eat at 5 pm and 9 pm because I cook with electricity and it’s more expensive from 5-8 pm
if youre ok with me asking, where do you live? Just trying to see if this is a thing in America ive not heard of before.
