Air conditioning is a large load in summer and can be shifted many hours with thermal storage. This can be as simple as precooling a building before a predicted price spike, exploiting the building's mass as a thermal store.

Seems like local power generation for local air conditioning would lessen the grid load and operational reduce costs. The government should invest in no/low interest loans for homes and businesses to install enough solar to power their A/Cs.
