A power plant cannot quickly adjust for a decrease in load so it sends the excess power to heating coils that boil water.

When you see large amounts of steam coming from cooling towers, you know the plant is making excess power.

It takes a while to adjust to big changes in demand.

Changing for an hour would not accomplish anything.
