The dumb thing is that electricity transmission and distribution are usually fixed. This already doesn't make sense because it's peak demand that drives the cap

The dumb thing is that electricity transmission and distribution are usually fixed. This already doesn't make sense because it's peak demand that drives the capex. Opex is peanuts.
But the retail buyer doesn't usually see the negative/low electricity prices of high-supply+low-demand time periods for their "inefficient" uses that should still be economic.

Quite useful for flexible loads such as EV charging! https://twitter.com/DanielColquitt/status/1395396355535867905 https://twitter.com/DanielColquitt/status/139539635553586790...
