> You could (for instance) pay people not to use power. Thats a model being trialled in the UK and it was enormously popular. You get everyone with a TOU (time of use) smart meter and you tell them for every KWh they can demonstrate they stop using you will rebate them for that months bill. People RUSH to turn off devices, and sit in the dark with phones on battery to make some vig.
More sustainable than that is charging people less for off-peak use. My EV charges between 23.30 and 05.30 for a quarter of the KWh rate than normal. We can even schedule the dishwasher and washing machine to take advantage of the cheap rate.
