As one example of a new buyer who can use bursts of electricity: If you have a large number of electric cars with big batteries, which don't have to charge every day, and they're plugged in both at work and at home, you can do a lot of good by having them charge when electricity is cheapest.
And it's not exactly high-tech, it's just a little bit of schedule prediction.
