Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.
