Seasonal storage of electricity will never be a thing because nowadays it's easier to just build a large solar array somewhere sunny and a long HVDC line. The UK is planning on doing just that:

The project is projected to cost close to $22bln, which sounds like a lot, but is still less than the cost of yet-to-be-finished Hinkley Point C.

Seasonal Gas storage will never be a thing, you can just rely on a gas pipeline from Russia, nothing will ever go wrong

Seasonal storage will not be a thing, but not for that reason, most places.

Plentiful solar farms in the tropics will synthesize ammonia and ship it in liquid form anywhere. There will be no possibility of embargo.

Cities far inland will rely on transmission lines from the coast, when local reserves run low.

Probably few places will bank more than 2 weeks' worth, locally.

That’s an idea that would make even Gerhard Schröder blush.
