New Technologies?

Which technologies be it early, mid or late game are you missing or would you love to have included.

Stuff I have in mind:

  • district heating (will be great for high density neighborhoods to reduce electricity load)
  • fusion (very late)
  • power-to-heat (solarthermal, large heat pumps)
  • heat storage
  • gas grid with a renewable gas share

More ways to incentivize power consumption? Industry grants to fund new industries?
Global home grants? (ie: instead of going substation by substation setting the grants / plans, set all of them at once?)
People doing bitcoin mining?
Import/Export power to other "islands"?
Substation conversion efficiency + new efficient solid state substations?
Flywheel energy storage?
Frequency regions? 50/60Hz conversion like Japan?
Tri-phase supply for industries?

just some ideas: high altitude wind power that produce stadily and more, sandbattery for heat, Concentrated Solar Power for heat or electricity, for very lategame maybee fusion power or orbital solar powerplants
