Interesting on the battery front. One of those facilities is going up in Medway right now,though it's not being advertised specifically as saving the town money. It's in conjunction with an eversource plant in town and is intended to smooth over peak demand.
Transmission and storage are two of the most inadequate aspects of our electrical grid. Having a municipal power center seems like a win for everyone who is not, in their person, a utility company.
