Peak shaving is a process from the electricity business:

You shift demand from "peak times" (eg. noon) to times with lower demand (e.g. night) and thus "shave" the peak. You can do that e.g. with devices that do not need to run immediately like washing machines etc...

Peak load shaving (in electrical terms) is when a generator is used to offset the electrical load on utility power. This saves money because the generator is fired up during peak times when kilowatt-hours are more expensive.
