First the "carrot mode": cheaper or free electricity at off-peak times to push the last of the "Luddites" into having a smart meter.
Then we will see "stick" mode: peak power periods become more expensive, training us to only use power at off-peak times. And those periods will be set by the power companies.
Once again, the belief is that we all work 9 to 5 jobs, Monday to Friday, as they believed when Work From Home became a thing.
