We have the smart meters here in Ontario. I can tell you that they don't help the reefing game at all!!!! Peak hours run during the normal photo period of our tanks which is almost impossible to get around. Other then lighting things like PH, pumps, heaters are on 24/7 so you can't really take advantage of the off peak hours. I do run my dehumidifier all night long and leave it off during the day, that is about the only significant thing I was able to change. I do shut my lights off from 5pm - 6:30pm (Actinic bulbs remain on) they the full spectrum comes back on for an hour before back to Actinics
Prices in Ontario with Smart meter:
7-11am - 8.9 cents/kWh
11-5pm - 10.7 cents/kWh
5-7pm - 8.9 cents/kWh
7pm-7am 5.9 cents/kWh
