Demand shaping is part of the plan, but opportunities are currently limited. For most applications demand can only be shifted by a short time.

Water heating, AC, fridges and freezers, maybe even EV charging (in some cases) could be done at any time during the 24 hour period, if setup with proper hysteresis.

Shifting some load by a couple of hours is indeed often possible, shifting it by 12 hours is already difficult.

Interesting, I would have thought in many cases it is maybe not trivial, but easily doable at worst. Do you have some personal experience with that?
