Yes, the planned new 100MWh of battery storage will assist but as they have not yet gone to tender, the timing & reliability of supply remains the problem.overloaded at times " (those are your words ?)."The most congested line is 220 kV transmission path that loops between Ballarat – Horsham – Red Cliffs – Kerang. But all parts of the line are expected to have “weak” system strength over time. And this is the problem. AEMO has received enquiries from more than 5,000MW of potential projects in the area, and 80 per cent of these enquiries are linked to the weak 220kV and 66kV lines. (See graph below). If the issue is not addressed, more than half the output may have to be curtailed, forcing the state to import electricity from interstate imports." not a big deal".

Elon Musk offered to install all the battery power that SA required in something like 100 days so your protracted version of reality out to 2050 is as silly as is your not understanding that batteries at the source will solve the perceived line capacity restrictions.
