I guess this will maybe emerge in the future if the trend continues and is fairly steady. The problems I see is that the capital cost of many of the most energy demanding processes are such that they only make sense to run almost 24/7, and if the cheap electricity is only available 8/5 (or something) the economics might not work out. Maybe there are some applications out there that are cheap enough for this to be sustainable.
