Take this with a grain of salt because I have 0 knowledge, but Ive read that they do that to balance the grid. Power used at night is not an issue but home usage during peak hours is what cracks the grid.

I’ve been told that before and I guess it makes sense, but maybe after the offices have been abandoned for over a year they could turn off the lights and lower heat -a/c on those floors during the day so the grid would have more capacity for residential.
