Another way to reduce some of the peak loads that cause grief will be the insidious rollout of DRED ready appliances, esp AirCon.
ie reduce consumption vs ramp up for very short peaks.
Not sure yet if the legislation has got through yet
( Gary would probably know more on that )
but basically any large "consumer level" energy units would be required to be fitted with DRED ready circuitry.
Currently, its an opt in scheme ( and is how the suppliers can pay you for not using an appliance ), but i assume it will become mandatory and they will override as and when reqd.
