Als thuisbatterijen zo talrijk worden dat ze effectief pieken in het groene stroomaanbod opvangen is dat een groot succes waarvan iedereen profiteert.

Ik vind dat kortzichtig.

Why a rural energy co-op is getting involved in housing
Affordable housing is in short supply around the state. In a small community a few minutes north of Rochester, one energy co-op is launching a new initiative to add to the supply.
