You could recondense the steam by dumping the heat into the atmosphere, but that's bigger and more expensive.
You could also store it in thermochemical batteries and save it for winter. The logistics of moving 1t of NaOH every few seconds sound difficult.
You might be able to export it via steam pipe and charge thermochemical batteries on site. That requires logistics that don't exist.
