Many US states are even dipping their toes into the Virtual Power Plant by subsidizing power walls in homes with the agreement to be able to reach into those batteries when needed. Tesla seems to be on the cutting edge of this.
And here goes China laying fields of solar panels and opening coal plants and diversifying their energy grid, making it more resilient and less dependent on external sources all while we continue to argue about how ugly wind turbines and solar panels are and those gahdamn hippies trying to save the planet with their stupid green stuff...
Don't mind China guys, the real enemy is that patchouli oiled, dreadlocked devil trying to save the Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka.
