Apparently distribution of storage to the extremities of a grid helps massively with reducing the peak power you have to force over a long distance interconnect

Apparently distribution of storage to the extremities of a grid helps massively with reducing the peak power you have to force over a long distance interconnect, and it actually works out cheaper now in many situations to put in lithium at the far end, than upgrade the cable.
