What your thermostat does is not synchronized with your neighbors, so the peak load is not managed.

It also isn't synced to supply, instead most people have it set to different temperatures based on when they are home. It would be better to cool or heat the house based on supply. You want the house between 21 and 24c, you don't care when the system is on.
