Honestly I think this is good and inevitable part of living with renewable energy. Renewable really is different - there are times of the day and days of the year when electricity is scarce and expensive, other windy sunny days when its virtually free.

People will either pay more or save money by changing their lifestyle to match the weather and seasons. Variable pricing and demand management means people don't wash their clothes or charge their cars on cold nights, they charge during the day or when its windy. Maybe people have to pay more to use AC on the hottest days and people will choose to go to the beach/mall/office instead.
