California has 5 GW of grid batteries (I think that's 20 GWh of storage).
The peak demand today at CASIO is around 36 GW (interestingly, ERCOT's peak is much higher. Texas should invest in efficiency.)
The "duck curve" looks like it's already partially ameliorated by batteries, and not that much battery capacity will be needed to smooth it out entirely.
