The one (potential) benefit could be utilizing hydrogen as a sort of battery, where off-peak electrical generation capacity is used for processing hydrogen instead of being wasted or sold at a loss. My municipality was actually paying other jurisdictions to absorb excess generation capacity, so something like hydrogen generation could be a useful off-peak demand source.
