It's not that far away. The problem is getting the short distance from here to there. Our local utility co-op recently installed a huge Tesla battery farm nearby and also has the biggest solar farm in the state (so far) 10 miles west of that. But they are losing money to solar with both residential and commercial build-outs over the past few years. So now we are being charged a demand rate pricing scheme rate increase to compensate. It's a hefty hike. The grid is overflowing with solar power during the day along with overall less demand 24x7. Dumb.
The storage infrastructure will probably end up being about 10 years behind the rest of the grid updates, with guess who (?) footing the bill for shortsighted management..
