peaking power plants/peaker plants/peak load power plants
Here is an explanation of the term in Spanish:
"Centrales de punta
Exclusivamente proyectadas para cubrir las demandas de energía eléctrica en las horas – punta; en dichas horas – punta, se ponen en marcha y trabajan en paralelo con la central principal. Si la central de base es de pequeña potencia, se utilizan grupos electrógenos de los que maquina motriz es un motor de explosión; si la central de base es mayor, se utilizan generalmente pequeñas centrales con motor Diesel. "

It sounds like this:
"Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers," are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity.[1][2] Because they supply power only occasionally, the power supplied commands a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power. Peak load power plants are dispatched in combination with base load power plants, which supply a dependable and consistent amount of electricity, meeting the minimum demand."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaking_power_plant
"Peak Load Power plants
To cater the demand peaks, peak load power plants are used. They are started up whenever there is a spike in demand and stopped when the demand recedes."

Electricity Peaking Stations
Electricity peaking stations, also called peak-lopping plants, are power plants designed to help balance the fluctuating power requirements of the electricity grid.

Peaking power plants
Peaking power plants provide electricity only when our customers' electric needs reach a "peak." These plants can be started and shut off by remote control in a matter of minutes.
Jet engines used as peaking units are similar to the engines in jet aircraft. Diesel engines used for this purpose are much like the engines in railroad locomotives. Because peaking plants run on more expensive fuels, they are used only during times of need and are immediately shut off when the need for electricity declines. The fuel used by the peaking plants burns cleanly, minimizing pollutants in the environment.

Peaking power plants currently play the role of an important linchpin in the infrastructure of the United States energy grid. Littered across the country, peaker plants are up and running just a few times a year
