There's talk here in North Qld of building a coal fired power station to help with the peak power load (and reduce power prices lol). I recon that it would be more cost efficient if they subsidized the cost of putting power walls in private houses, these could be charged with off peak power and thus reduce the load at peak times. This could be done with a highly reduced off peak tariff to charge the units, or with a subsidy to encourage people to buy a system outright. A win for everyone except maybe power company profits.
