Spent a few weeks at a resort in the Dominican Republic ..Punta Cana and noted many habits which relate to VRB.Nearly all of lights that you see down there are compact fluorescent and they are very conscious of saving electricity due to the cost.. i was told upwards of $0.40/ KWR almost 10 times what I pay .

They issue only one room card (key) per room which must be inserted in a recepticle to turn the light and air conditioning circuts on when you come in, and which you take when you go out, which turns all the lights and air conditioning off when you are away..why? because of cost..the only reason I can see..apparently there are private electrical company's that supply only to the resorts.
The "people habits" at these resorts..resorts around the world for that matter..was what interested me..thousands of people on the beach all day using very little power(i would love to see the power use graphs in these resort areas)..What i see is the sun beating down on banks of solar panels feeding VRB's Redox ESS. ..wind turbines located in sugar cane fields also feeding "energy storage system"Initial cost of this infrastructure for power company ..HIGH..rewards under this scenario..ASTOUNDING!
