Batteries help, but they still cost way more than direct solar and wind. We still need way more solar and wind to use directly.
That's evening peaker gas plants in most places. After batteries push gas out of that market they go on to morning peaks and so on.
The UK for example basically doesn't have "peakers". Right now it's early evening, demand is high as people cook evening meals but haven't yet retired to bed where they stop using electricity, but renewable generation is reduced as the sun approaches the horizon. So there's 8GW of combined cycle gas power plant production, but only about 100MW of "peakers" and it might grow to 200MW or so at absolute peak.
