> reduces the need for grid infrastructure Maybe I'm misreading this, but the infrastructure couldn't be reduced. Battery storage acts as a filter, allowing you to optimize the transition for both sides of the duck curve [1], but reducing infrastructure, as in removing plants, can't be done somewhere that can have its power generation halved by a passing tropical storm. If you're saying "reduce dirty power", then yes. :) As a side note, here's some interesting graphs I just found: California: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/California-daily-power-generation-accumulation-curves-and-demand-curve-313-Mechanisms_fig2_346482723 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/California-daily-power-g...

Everything is so flat in Germany! Including demand!
