This doesn't even pass an econ 101 sniff test. The market should self regulate by increasing electric usage during the day and scaling down at night. Alas the free market cannot manage such an ideal scenario.
Turning your lights and aircon on for 8 hours during the day isn’t going to light and cool your house after dark. .
I was talking about industrial usage, the main usage of electricity. But you're also wrong on your own point if you're home is properly insulated.
But that has nothing to do with what happens when the sun goes down. People need power at home at night. Got nothing to do with industrial usage lol.
