    I watch big state and national grid loads (for fun) and I see two distinct peaks: 7-8AM when everyone goes to work, and then around 5-7 PM when people commute home and heat up dinner.

    Otherwise it’s a linear diagonal curve coinciding with temperatures.

    I personally try to keep my own energy usage a completely flat line so I can benefit from baseline load generator plants like nuclear (located not that far away).

      If you consume energy during peak hours you are a peak load consumer. Consuming in other hours doesn’t change this fact.

      Your personal energy use pattern does not determine where you are drawing your power from, wtf logic is this?
