Simplified electricity price module for Hugging Face demo.

We don't load CSVs or use HF_DATASET_TOKEN anymore.
The real-time app takes electricity_rate directly from the user.

This file only exists:
- to provide a simple default ELECTRICITY_RATES dict (if needed)
- to keep compatibility with older imports (get_electricity_rate)
