The ETR generation is not exclusive with the rest of the generation system. For a lot of the time the ETR will not be at peak load, when it is, other systems may not. A thorough ELA will show this and it may be that the weight penalty for RIPS can be shared with ETR, just a thought?
In my opinion I wouldn't go anywhere near electric main rotor for a conventional setup.
