@xiaowang1984 @TabulaStellar Don’t forget these batteries are also compensated for resource adequacy (just like regular peaker-plants) and make the rest from capacity payments: ~$50k-$100k/yr/MW based on participation model.

@TabulaStellar If you had $1000 events then this number goes down to a cool 250 times. But how effed up would the market need to be for this to happen

How much would you pay each of those powerwalls to get the marginal price deduction of a few c a kwh?

"But solar is negligible..."
In 2024, global solar generation reached the size of India's entire electricity demand and avoided emissions equivalent to the emissions from the entire US power sector.
We have to keep the counterfactual in mind. Where would we be without solar?

People who think that EVs are going to “break the grid” know absolutely nothing about how grids work.
We’ve known EVs are good for the grid for over a century.
They improve load factor, amortizing fixed costs over more units of energy.
EVs make electricity cheaper.
