Unable to predict electricity use and generation on a large scale, leading to unstable electricity network (e.g. peak generation at 12 o clock while everynone is working).

    This seems like a problem that can be solved now that everything is connected to the Internet and has a computer inside. Turn on the water boiler only when the price is less than 10ct/kw. Run aircon or heater only when it's cheap, and insulation will keep the temperature constant for half a day.
