Pricing of electricity is confusing and very varried. Usually it’s business that pay the variable rates.
I worked at a power monitoring startup. We looked at states that had peak demand and tried to estimate commercial electricity bills and sent alerts if a business was close to its peak usage.
“ Some utilities will charge customers based on their individual peak demand. The highest demand during each month or even a single 15 to 30 minute period of highest use in the previous year may be used to calculate charges”

It’s hard to figure out what the charges are going to be.
