FPL has started doing this based on the biggest load signal (time of day). We're charged peak rates and non-peak rates, and the peak rate is about 2x the non-peak.
Unfortunately, many consumers live in older apartments and/or are more transient than most, so there's less incentive to invest in energy efficiency. The landlord is responsible for appliances/AC, but not the power, so there's no incentive to do anything except buy the minimally sufficient hardware for the occupant.
I think if we start to change some of the perverse incentives in the lessor/lessee relationship this will also have some significant effect on power consumption.
