Ah, yes. California. Where large swathes of costal areas hover between 60ºF and 80ºF. We are talking about Nevada the weather of locality matters and where it can be supremely hot.
- harry19023 4mo agoYou posted the Texas grid, I posted the California grid. Here's the NW grid which includes Nevada. Same thing, demand peaks around 6PM when people get home and turn on their houses. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/gridmonitor/expanded-view/electric_overview/regional/REG-NW/ElectricityOverview-7 https://www.eia.gov/electricity/gridmonitor/expanded-view/el...

On weekends there's a third peak around 22:00-23:00. https://www.rte-france.com/en/data-publications/eco2mix/electricity-consumption-france https://www.rte-france.com/en/data-publications/eco2mix/elec...

Just looking at today's temperatures on my front porch in Reno, it was 93°F at 2 PM, it peaked at 95°F at 3:30 PM, and it didn't fall back down to 93°F until 5 PM. Some of that sustained power usage probably is people getting home, but a lot of it is A/C.
