The new plans are mostly to charge the hundreds of thousands of household batteries that have been installed over the last few years, which are an economical way to store energy for night time usage (ROI about 8% over 20 years, probably more with the new plans).
Every individual household can. There are many programs where you can get a free/discounted home battery and get paid to export to the grid when needed. The economics will make it work.
