Lot of industry, especialy heavy industry, chemical plants are running 24/7.

For expensive night prices see electricity prices in Europe, expensive natural gas, coal power production with carbom tax.

You are right, PJM grid is coal, nuclear and gas dominated.

I don't see any nighttime prices there. Where do you see that nighttime rates are higher than daytime rates in Pennsylvania?
