Incentivising battery storage, together with domestic solar, provides the same result but invites people to invest in adding infrastructure resilience which also provides potential economic independence on an individual basis.

I guess I'm thinking more of load balancing.
Not sure if it's more economic or not, but larger batteries further away from homes may not be as practical as smaller units scattered around suburbs.
As the price comes down, it might not be so much of a barrier.
Prismatic LiFePO4 cells only cost about 50 dollars USD overseas, but they retail here for 6 times the price, even then that's pretty cheap but shows the high margins retailers are charging.
