@Janetgunter that's an excellent post, with some useful ideas.
But, I think I slightly disagree with one aspect you've mentioned.
We've had decades of trying to instill energy literacy. Huge campaigns about LED bulbs and A-rated appliances have all helped. And, as a consequence, domestic usage is down.
I see paying people to shed load as a better alternative to charging variable prices throughout the day.
But very interested to see how this all develops.

@Edent The “literacy” you mention is really top-down standards. While I will defend European energy efficiency standards til I am blue in the face, this is not what I am getting at. I am talking about massive public service messaging on par with WW2 era. Education in schools.

I don’t know enough about differential pricing to take a position on that.

But I believe we need people to more engaged, more literate - not the policy-makers’ homoeconomicus that only respond to price
