Unrelated but what’s the spike in Texas’ real time price around 6pm about? California also spikes around this time but is more spread out.

- whall6 3y agoThis is typically the highest energy usage throughout the day (getting home from work, cooking, doing laundry, turning up the heat, etc.) This also coincides with the setting of the sun, so the net load (total load less wind and solar) spikes at 6-7pm every day.
- fotta 3y agoRight and the net load chart shows that, but the spike is only for a short time then goes back down even as net load is elevated. This is what I don’t understand. In comparison the California price remains elevated throughout the spike in net load.
