How much can the provider shave off the load though? if i set my band between 21 and 23 degrees, is the reduction more than a few percent max? Doesn't seem to make a dent given the peak requirement when the majority of the people all shift locations (i.e. go home)?

This paper [1] says up to 8GW in Germany with full integration of heating, cooling and mobility. [1] https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0306261915001889 https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S03062619150018...

  Found the paper but couldn't find the 8GW claim. Doesn't that seem very little considering germany is producing electricity in the 500 TWh region?

    The 8GW are in the abstract. 500TWh per year are about 60GW average. 8GW is quite a bit compared to that, but of course load shifting alone won't allow you get to 100% renewables.
