Lincoln .. the reason for the large number of participating homes is for the Utility (SECO) to pay for part of the installation and conversion costs. In short the "federation" of these homes is then treated as a peaking power plant. This has the effect of being the same as a small power station for SECO when then really need the power, say on July 10 between noon and 2PM.
