Hi Acorn

I think storage within a smart grid needs to be diverse.

Big batteries like the one in SA, respond in milliseconds but discharge within an hr if the need is there.

Pumped hydro responds in minutes and can last for days if required.

Residential batteries in the aggregate have substantial capacity and could be demand fed into the grid if needed and if the price was right.

Solar thermal can go a full 24 hr cycle.

Tassie 2.0 requires big investment in undersea transmission that Snowy 2.0 wouldn’t, so I am not sure. Nice to have choice though.

Cheers
