Also, if the big solar power plants out west and some of the geothermal, hydroelectric, biofuel, and wind plants all connect to the same HVDC lines, the ratio of average to peak power transmission can be reduced along those lines by having geothermal, biofuel, and hydroelectric plants respond to variations in wind and solar.

OhmConnect is a free service that acts somewhat like a virtual power plant, except that instead of generating energy, it works with the user's devices to reduce demand at times when electricity consumption is at a peak, which can help utilities to avoid having to bring a «peaker plant» online to cover the extra demand.

And hot weather can make water supplies too warm for cooling, forcing power plants to reduce their electricity production when it's needed most (hot days are also peak electricity usage days).

The reason is that the interconnectors can then be sized to average (demand - reduced) consumption, rather than peak consumption, and storage can be sized for a shorter period because power can be brought in from further away at the reduced rate.
