Yeah, various power generation techniques (e.g., big industrial power plants) do not want to run without a load. And switching them off temporarily isn't really feasible (shutting them for good would ultimately be nice, but that's another topic...).
And you can't just "dump" huge amounts of excess of power
it needs to go somewhere.
Tesla coils?
