With conventional electrical energy generation there may have been a
benefit from a constant 24hour demand but these days we are entering the
green revolution realms of all or nothing (without relying on gas, coal
or nuclear) so perhaps the new norm is no electricity supply when the
wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.

Yup ... and so if you want electricity when the grid isn't supplying
any you will need your own Powerwall [1] (or draw power from your own
electric car).
