You can also adjust energy prices to shape demand. It's not like baseload power plants have ever had constant demands there's always a curve.

The solution is of course a mix. Solar/wind/hydrogen/gas/etc., big grid/home systems. It will require grid upgrades.

Batteries are already happening [0]. And electric cars + home solar systems with batteries have a further ability to allow additions to this at scale if the grid supports it
