I feel like I discussed that in the second half of my post, so I’m not sure how to respond to this question.

How would users make their demands dispatchable? The demand is the demand. The supply has to match
It depends on the specific load, dishwashers can be configured to run when the price drops a bit, heating can be configured to allow your house to get a little colder, and if the market provides enough incentive, adding insulation will become economical.

I mean it is a big pile of interests that needs to be optimized. One option is to expose it to the market and let the supply and demand optimization process have a go at it.
