Yes and:

Transition clients usage to variable and intermittent energy. Much of our current industrial stack assumes continuous energy. Like smelting. So develop techniques for quick starting and ramping up processes when energy is cheapest.

Time shift usage. Like HVAC pre-cooling buildings, pre-heat water, etc.

One benefit is increased resiliency.

Another is reducing peak usage.

Our current stack (generation, distribution, etc) is over built in order to accommodate the worst case scenario. IIRC, that's < 1% of the time. Adding batteries (strategically) to handle those peaks, instead of peaker gas generators, will be hugely impactful. And open up a lot of our currently built capacity to handle more demand.

I know you know these things. I'm just compelled to reiterate, for our viewing audience.
