Let me present a counter case: Latvia. Quite a few people choosing a dynamic hourly rate for their electricity with pricing set based on spot market rates. Lots of ordinary people living hand to mouth on tiny wages. They do care about a few euros difference at the end of the month. It makes a real difference to them.
