Batteries are great but every country still needs generation to charge them up. Some of the big gentailers build very little new generation capacity.

There's likely some spare solar capacity that will help. Currently the peak of solar is almost counterproductive, but converting that to storage is good for both the consumers and the power plants. (Less feed in during the day, lower evening peak)
Don't grid operators typically have excess capacity most of the time?
