Only true for some countries.
Denmark has a mix of flat rate and hour-based variable rates. In my case prices are often 3 timers higher in "rush hours" (typically weekdays 5pm to 8pm, 17:00-20:00) than during a midday in a weekend with a lot of wind.
I cannot choose flat-rate due to the situation in Ukraine.

- rr808 4y agoYes Denmark is a great example of high proportion of Wind power where it could make a big difference. I'm not sure what the hour-based variable rates are - do you know what the price is so you can change usage? Is power free or very cheap on windy days?
- silvestrov 4y agoOn windy days the price can go to zero, so you only pay the fixed tax. I can log into my provider at see the price for previous days and for tomorrow.
- rr808 4y agoTomorrow, that's cool. Its the whole point to be able to adjust your usage based on the market. I was thinking appliances can be smart enough to get the pricing to adjust usage, but if you can see tomorrow you can adjust your life yourself.
- silvestrov 4y agoTomorrow Wednesday we will have prices at zero some of the day: https://i.redd.it/cpmx4cvj56b91.png https://i.redd.it/cpmx4cvj56b91.png
