Do you only use electricity only some hours a day?

No it’s usage need to be constant, or you'll get black-outs in regions where the grids 50hz frequency cannot be kept - which a lot of communals in Sweden are dangerously close to.

And if you don't keep the network balanced, you'll get complete blackouts instead of regional blackouts.

Well, speaking for myself, I do use different amounts of electricity during the day. As does everyone in my region. And your region, probably.

But you want to be able to use electricity when you need it, right?
