The baseline is not zero GW. If the grid planned for 35 to 40GW of demand for today and then sees 42GW load, the 0.125GW are over 5% of the excess load. Servin

The baseline is not zero GW. If the grid planned for 35 to 40GW of demand for today and then sees 42GW load, the 0.125GW are over 5% of the excess load.
Serving baseline from batteries is unrealistic and will be for quite some time. Smoothing peaks or helping with unexpected high (or low!) load however is slowly becoming viable.
