Giant batteries that ensure stable power supply by offsetting intermittent renewable supplies are becoming cheap enough to make developers abandon scores of projects for gas-fired generation world-wide.
The big advantage of batteries is that they are not just able to balance the grid by providing more power, but also are able to take power out of the grid. They are able to do that extremly quickly as well. For those who do not know electricity grids fail if there is too much electricity or too little. With falling prices we are likely to see more of these even in largely fossil fuel based grids.
