I think if you run the numbers microgrids and cheap storage wins vs major grid upgrades and vast transmission networks.

The grid is going extinct when renewables and storage reach their terminal scaled costs.

As Tony Seba so eloquently put it: "you could capture god and force him to generate limitless power forever at the center of a power plant and it would still not be cheaper than decentralized renewables and storage".
