I guess I don't know what's out there, but it feels like there must be a bunch of industrial-type loads that could be pretty flexible, and would absolutely benefit from a model where they get electricity for a fraction of the price with the promise that the utility can throttle them back by 80-90% at a second's notice. Think stuff that's naturally storage-oriented, like charging forklift/AGV batteries, pumping something into a tank, boiling a large kettle, etc. These are all potentially loads where the convenience cost might be well worth a discount from the utility, where the discount is maybe proportional to how long the throttling can be— some loads you'd only want to lose a few minutes (so, basically buying the utility time to spin up another turbine), whereas others you could lose for hours at a time (actual load shifting).
