Yes it would, if you could.

But about the only electrical item I have which I wouldn't object to
someone else remotely "peak shaving" is the fridge-freezer.

Storage hot water and under floor heating are two other obvious
examples. Air conditioning too as long as it doesn’t happen for too long.

I don't think I want Google to decide how warm or cold I'm allowed to
be. Or how soggy my frozen food. They can do what they like in their
server farms.

The cheeky *******s will then target you with ads for jumpers or T
shirts and deliver meals to the door services.
