I don't want to live in a place that does that, my power consumption over the course of the day is pretty consistent.
We already do that for industrial power consumers how are most capable of changing the time they put load on the grid.

- usrn 5y agoI'd prefer the cheap LNG and nuclear power where I live now. Power cost fluctuating over the course of the day would mean cutting back on critical stuff since I already optimize my power consumption pretty well. Maybe I could cut power to my refrigerator/freezer at night but I prefer having it cold on the small chance that there is a blackout the next day.
