According to this Smart Grid IEEE article peak time in Sacramento is between 4 and 7 PM, in summer, for, probably, residential consumers. Knowing customer load patterns is very useful thing.
Also interesting information is that supplied energy is 10 times more costly in peak time than in non - peak time. And this is not without reason. It is because the whole power system - from generation to distribution - suffers big problems which are the results of the peak load. So reducing peak load, through several tactics, is the ultimate goal for overloaded networks.This is why they are charging ten times more money for energy used in peak load. They are telling their customer - please, reduce Your load :-)
