With 4-5 MW batteries in the shape of shipping containers are already now available and rated for 6-10k cycles before much degradation. I think local neighborhood storage near consumption should become common in the near future. Of course electricity distribution companies etc will drag their feet specially in the US with their captured markets and near monopolies.



Do you have a link to an OEM with the 6-10k cycle spec?

State of the art moves quickly not long ago projects were budgeting for new batteries every 5 years in order to be able to meet energy guarantees
