That's an interesting concept, but one not in use here {to the best of my 
knowledge} in PPL (PA Power & Light) country.  PPL  IS doing remote meter 
reading.  Whether controlling peak demand as you describe or reading meters, the 
Power Line Communications is occasional--unlike BPL which is constant and 
continuous.
