Finally, power at night, when everyone’s asleep and we always have had excess.
This is a very old school and outdated mentality.
In my part of the EU this year, we had very very many days of negative sale prices and having to curtail wind parks because just solar and wind were making up more than demand during the day. Afaik we only curtailed at night one time.

Do you mean my mentality or the one of the new technology?
It’s not necessary to produce power 24/7 since demand isn’t 24/7 either. Strong peaks and valleys.
Your mentality is old school. We have often more need at night than during the day for non renewable electricity right now
I see. Do you know what’s using that power?
That’s when my electric car is plugged in and taking up quite a bit of power.
That’s when it should be plugged in.
So, then why are you confused about what’s using power at night?
The energy can be stored for use for later during the day
