I don’t think its a long term issue. The cost of battery storage is below 10c per kWh, whereas a peaker plant costs above 20c per kWh and runs 10% of the time.

So if you get paid double the value of your battery the incentives are there for an economic model to work. Today.

And batteries are only getting cheaper, gas is the opposite.

Plus batteries take surplus solar/wind, at these times they have a negative value. Add that and the economics are a no brainer. It’s a matter of time.
