We have Earth Hour(s) on our back country road whenever there is a wind storm or ice storm. It's not voluntary, though.
Potential Consequences of Large-Scale Earth Hour Participation
In summary: The Earth Hour website claims that they turn off lights for an hour to show people that they should be more conscious of their energy consumption. Some people have questioned whether this will really make a difference, and whether the utility companies will be able to solve any problems that might happen. However, even if this event only draws in a small percentage of the population, it could still cause a lot of problems for the grid.
