The problem is the constant demand market irrespective of cost, but that is changing. Flexibility is required - and available.
If more homes have a power wall (or an EV with a charge margin) and the price of electricity varies with demand then you'll see the power walls fill in that demand nicely.

South Australia's Hornsdale battery proves this by keeping electricity costs down and preventing those brown-outs (which was the main reason to build it in the first place).

For education go to people unlike yourself.
