Flattening the Duck Curve: batteries reach 44% of evening demand in California

Havoc

Not sure I'd call california the 4th biggest economy in an article about electricity. If you pretend it were a country it would come in somewhere around the 30th mark on usage give or take...similar to like Sweden

Seems a weird thing to highlight - the battery output at a single moment in time. If you could coordinate it properly, I would guess that there is enough capacity that you could meet 100% of power needs, if only for a moment. Would make more sense if you reported what fraction of the entire night energy demand was offset by batteries. Which eye-balling it, still appears to be a healthy amount.
