A couple of us were yakking at work today, and we wondered why electricity utilities don't offer a cheaper rate at night time, other than hot water off peak?
We mulled over things like a swimming pool pump and filter that runs for about 8 hours a day. A lot odf people filter during the day and late afternoon, when I assume electricity usage is at it's peak, and thus pricey to manufacture.
I wondered if they had an offpeak electricity rate, how many people would take it up, and whether this would be beneficial in reducing day time loads?
Any interest in the thought, or is it stupid??
