And yet that doesn't make sense if those peaks occur when there is low system wide demand, except for sizing the transformer nearby. Really should have a rewar

Really should have a reward for users that can reduce their demand when asked, or use time of day pricing.

So you pay a lot for using capacity when the network is strained. Also, for distribution charging (rather than transmission) there is a half hourly congestion charging mechanism. Every HH period gets put into a red, yellow, or green band and you pay more distribution charge during the red and yellow periods.
