    A coal plant produces electricity. A battery consumes electricity, and returns a part of it to the network after some time. How can one replace the other?

      In this case both provide electricity to the network, and in that sense it would be a replacement. But it’s not a one for one replacement as the batteries will need to be charged from some source, I would assume they aim to do that from the growing renewable generation.
