If you have your own battery bank you should be able to do your own smoothing when the spot rate goes nuts.
Yes, but largely consumers aren't exposed to these fluctuations. Most people are on plans with fixed usage charges, and the provider takes on the risk of the spot prices. That mitigates the benefits of being able to do this yourself with a battery.
