I think some states and energy providers offer similar date/time rates that can
be different prices depending on the day or time.  

I much prefer one price for anytime usage. We have smart meters here too, but
just to report our usage back to the utility.  I do like the fact that I can
shop around and pick my energy provider, so under normal circumstances I can get
decent rates due to the competition.
