That Phoenix ice chiller plant(s) is a great use of excess power - it can also store a tremendous amount of energy - change of phase for water from ice to liquid is high, and ~8 times better if you're evaporating liquid to vapor, but the latter requires a closed vacuum system. Don't know why LA and surrounding cities don't use such chillers - they could greatly relieve the 5:00 pm AC demand if used in apt. towers. Obviously no good for residential areas, you need a lot of people in single buildings to make these systems economically feasible. The opposite system has existed for > 100 yrs - centralized steam generators supplying heat to buildings in cities using underground pipes to distribute the steam - those are the famous NYC steam grates you see everywhere.
