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.

Do you live in a paper box or something? If I cool my house it stays cool for up to two days. I mean it's fairly new (from the late 19th century I think) but still, running the AC all day should be enough for the night even in older homes.

Aussies live in tin cans.

I'm guessing you live in a shoebox, and not in a climate where it wildly shifts from 35+ degrees c to low single digits in a single day.
