Bars are the price for each hour, the line is demand. Price usually climbs with demand, and midday hours are cheaper because solar covers part of it.

When to use power today

If you can move a laundry cycle, an EV charge or a water heater, these are the hours to pick. Cheap and clean do not always coincide: nights are cheap, middays are clean.
