This is a fantastic initiative. Hopefully all parties subscribe to this.

It's win win for all involved. Only power companies would be against this.

Nah, grid scale pumped storage is where it's at. Much cleaner.

Genuinely curious - but what about for "self reliance" / redundancy options on a residential scale?

That's definitely an advantage to having your own storage, how much that's worth very much depends on the individual customer though.
