That is the purpose of the Hornsdale Power Reserve, a giant battery in South Australia, except instead of nuclear it is helping balance gas turbines and renewables. SAs energy is produced from renewables and gas turbines, with the battery providing grid stabilizing services. It has been so transformative that it can even stabilize the grid across the country faster than their local power supply can kick in. Typically that kind of service is charged by response time and time spent responding, but the battery is so fast that the they get far less than a responding gas turbine would for the same service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsdale_Power_Reserve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsdale_Power_Reserve
