My electric company does not have peak hours for some reason. I am not sure if nuclear power has anything to do with it.

Peak/Off-peak hours are less about the power source and more about demand... it's hard to spin up/spin down any type of generation and there is a maximum capacity of the sources, so when demand exceeds immediate supply, they buy the power from other companies and do so at a premium. So, when demand is high, they try to discourage use by charging more and get the added benefit of having the outsourced power paid for by consumers.
