    "With a total project value of $2.7 billion and a capacity of 2.0 GW / 4.2 GWh"

    https://www.energy.gov.au/news-media/news/arena-backs-8-grid-scale-batteries-worth-27-billion

    So $2.7 BILLION for just 4.2GWh

    Australia's annual energy consumption is around 200TWh

    yep, those batteries are going to be real cheap ... using some technology that doesn't even exist maybe but certainly not with current battery tech

    And for those who want to point to all the great battery technologies in development, there's been all sorts of great looking things in development for a decade, none of them have proven viable yet
