Do German households even have smart meters? To me this is the most important thing in a renewable world. I'd imagine the wholesale market electricity was free but consumers pay a fixed charge that doesn't change even on windy days. The most important thing is changing people's behaviour on the peak cold windless cloudy days when the market price is high people shouldn't be washing clothes or ironing or using electric heating.

It's expected that 10% of households will have those within 3 years. https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Intelligente-Stromzaehler-Startschuss-fuer-verpflichtenden-Smart-Meter-Einbau-4651422.html https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Intelligente-Stromza...
