Domestic electricity consumption is not collected at this level of detail. However, National Grid statistics show a regular weekday peak demand between 5pm and 7pm in winter from all sectors of the economy. The maximum peak usually occurs on the coldest weekday: in 2015-16, it was Monday 18 January 2016.
