> The bigger deal is infra play, battery buffer mitigates grid hotspots That's exactly where I flagged the challenge earlier to which you replied that the math is easy. >> 1500 kWh battery storage + 600kW grid draw + 30kW solar canopy Just for 2 stalls you need to provide 2MW peak power (e.g. 1MW from the grid and 1MW from the battery), and you need probably at least 2MWh local storage to make sure you can always buffer the load. Add the large solar installation to "trickle charge" that battery. Every KFC needs upgrade works for the grid, the battery, and the solar panels. That's technically possible but financially not too attractive. Transformers are in short supply, construction work to upgrade every one of the lines isn't fast or cheap, and the production capacity isn't there yet to feed to the upgraded grid. That's why I said decades. China might pull it off because they can steamroll objections and focus on individual topics to push them according to the plan. Can many other countries afford this? | ||
