When the electric grid is under strain, many electric utilities use the load shedding technique to lower demand and balance it with energy production. The idea is to turn off the power supply to certain areas on a cyclical basis, for example, two hours ON, then two hours OFF. The local utility releases this timetable in public media.

Driving this sea change in long-term planning is a combination of public pressure and energy economics. The falling costs of wind and solar power are pushing utilities to find ways to incorporate them into their long-range plans, even as they struggle to define what resources can be relied on to provide the dispatchable power they need.
