that here, there are no plans for integrating battery technology into the grid, no plans for where to get them, and no system to regulate their use. what we do have is lots of old pumped hydro facilities that were shut down because they were “not profitable enough”.
I mean ya, if you don’t have plans to do it, then it doesn’t happen, but batteries are what help stabalize solar/wind input. If they have decided to go into solar/wind and you’re having grid instabilities because of it, they should build batteries.
The batteries also help with the Nuclear plants since they often don’t run at full capacity overnight which is wasted energy as they need to spin them down. If you have batteries you can also be storing that during the evening, which means you need less solar during the day.
Whats your point? Yes when you build something you need to get said something from somewhere.
