Batteries normalise the peaks.
Building grid scale storage still means grid itself needs to be updated for the increasing loads and spikes.
And I'm talking here smart batteries - controlled by grid owner. How it's not default (including solar, cars and other high load devices) it's a bit of a puzzler. Sure it's like 5 minutes of inconvenience for the owner, but saves trillions of dollars.
