Wolf-Peter Schill<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>GreenFire</span></a></span> As you can guess, grid-scale energy storage is now highly profitable in German. Just look at this <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/duckcurve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>duckcurve</span></a>. But a problem is grid connection of utility-scale batteries - this is sometimes very lengthy and partly also overly expensive. We also have lots of PV-batteries in homes by now - but these are largely operated only for maximizing self-consumption benefits, and are not guided by wholesale prices whatsoever.</p>

Stephen Shankland<p>At what point do home batteries become as ordinary in the US as rooftop solar?

CelloMom On Cars<p>Even if I haven't seen the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DuckCurve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DuckCurve</span></a>, or dont understand it, you can still make me do it by making electricity cheaper in the daytime and more expensive at peak demand hours in the evening. Or you can tell my car, and enable it to do real-time arbitrage on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>energy</span></a> market.
