Our co-op has some very large users of electricity with standby genset that can power thier whole place and in peak power demand times they are asked to run them to help reduce the load on the system. The agreement is good business since. In fact I helped install a lot of those big kw sets at one such operation.
Asked? No body does anything in business because they are asked. They do things because they are obligated to.
We have some hefty standby generators at work too. Enough capacity to run 400 modern homes. We don't run them for anyone except for us.
Maybe it's not just always because that are obligated but, also because they could save / make money doing such.
