A decade back, in the US, the local power company would give you a discount if you used less energy than average during peak hours. At the time I had a vacant rental, very little energy use. (FWIW I’ve since sold it, being a landlord isn’t a good time)

I watched a specific neighbor go through great pains to honor this system and so as to reap the benefits of a much lower bill. Sweating their buns off during the hottest part of the day, open windows, no tv on, etc. fully committed.

They saved 8 dollars that month. My vacant rental, not doing a goddamn thing, saved 6 dollars.

If your system is similar, you’re optimizing your life around the cost of a monthly Netflix subscription, at best.
