The answer for "who pays for X" is always similar. If no government intervenes, people that use electricity when its most expensive pay for it; or if the power company keeps the price constant, it gets included on the average price.

But, governments tend to intervene in utility prices somewhat often, and power companies have varying policies WRT constant pricing, so we have at least three (fairly dissimilar) possible answers here.
