    This is just further spelling out the case for energy storage. It seems like there would be tons of profit potential for just running a grid scale battery storage facility plant- if you can charge at negative wholesale and sell at peak, then you would not only stand to make a profit, but you’d help even out the problem.

      For sure. I’m expecting that even with significant storage, a cost-optimal system will still need to curtail generation some of the time though.
