But yes, most of the time, far less electricity is used at night than during the day.
That's why you find a lot of electric companies advertising free nights and that sort of thing. Not only is there less demand at night, but it's actually cheaper at night too.

Yes, I worked in wet utilities for over 30 years as well. The reason I bring this up is because there is an industrial demand for pumping water and treating water and waste water. SO the current off peak periods are already in demand, but by how much? It is not as if the off peak capacity is just sitting there waiting to be called.
