The clients are changing too.

Your lightbulbs, TV and internet parafernalia can't wait for whether power is available when their services are requested. But your car could avoid charging on peak power usage and tariffs, and likewise your smart fridge could vary the moment where it runs a cooling cycle.
Your appliances will over time become aware of the variations in electricity cost and adjust accordingly. This would both stabilize the grid and save you money.

Tomorrow there will be a partial solar eclipse over Western Europe. Power companies have already secured extra power delivery contracts to mitigate the drop in solar power generation during the event.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
