I think you need to update your thinkinghttps://octopus.energy/press/believe-it-or-watt-octopus-energy-customers-provide-108mw-of-grid-flexibility-in-first-saving-session-equivalent-of-a-gas-power-station/ - this is from a year ago, things have got bigger since then with more customers making cash through using their solar batteries in forced charge/discharge mode.
