Some of the better combined cycle gas turbines and coal thermal plants are pushing 50% efficiency. Problem is there is barely enough installed capacity to carry peak loads Mon-Fri during the daytime and early evening. From approx 6 or7AM to appprox 7or 9 or so PM is peak demand for 12-15 hrs.

Any time weekends and from midnight to 6:00AM.
