Consider the (admittedly extreme, but not unusual) case of an arc

It's nice to be in agreement with someone, isn't it? My usual example
of a very large load is an aluminum smelter. I have no idea how

These things eat megawatts. Typical tap-to-tap times are about 90
minutes, it appears, and energy consumption is 400-700 KWH/ton of
steel.

That's why they build generating plants, yes.
