Seems I was wrong.

Site took an age to load but contains interesting information about
current circumstances. The System demand curve is a weird shape. Down to
little more than half peak demand in the early hours (approx 4am) which
is only to be expected but daytime demand is virtually on a plateau from
9am to 4pm at 87% of peak with a sharp peak above 87% between 4 and 8pm,
by which time demand is falling steeply. I wonder what factors cause
that peak.

At this time of year it's dark by 4pm so lights go on. Everyone still at
work, but start of rush hour so lots of suburban rail lines running. At
home: kettles, toasters, heating and more lights.
