@Eka_FOOF_A batteries and solar would certainly help, but it's not a panacea, and I think given the scale of the increased demand as we decarbonise, the grid IS going to need reinforcing.
Home solar is great, I'm putting panels up myself.
Batteries are great, even without solar they let you cycle loads away from peak hours.
But it's just not going to replace the grid. The increased demand for electricity from the transition to low carbon tech is going to be immense, and lots of it will have to be met by large scale centralised generation, like the scheme in the article.
I could run through the numbers for a typical house if you or anyone else is interested.
