By allowing the installation\u00a0of energy storage systems and batteries, it will lower residents&#8217; energy bills, especially during the winter, as costs are expected to rise over next several decades as more people install heat pumps.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People should be able to install a Tesla Powerwall or any other energy storage system, otherwise I&#8217;m afraid we&#8217;ll start seeing cracks in the grid,&#8221; as demand exceeds supply, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T.R.
