I interpreted the term “random load” to mean unpredictable supply given variable external factors like specific locations’ weather.

Random as in being many many houses with different setups that themselves consume power differently/ have differing logic when to dump extra power. Therefore despite there being roughly same weather in the area each house has different levels of extra power it can dump.
