La produzione olandese di elettricità rinnovabile è cresciuta dell’11% nel 2024, rappresentando il 54% record della produzione totale di elettricità olandese

biggest problem is now to increase battery storage, as a lot more of renewables were simply turned off because they couldn’t be sold or consumed at the moment

translation

>Windmills and solar panels are regularly turned off

>The increase in the amount of green energy could have been even greater this year if panels and windmills had not been turned off so often. This happens when the power grid is too full or there is not enough demand, which creates a surplus.

>In such a situation, energy suppliers decide to temporarily shut down wind and solar parks, because they simply cannot get rid of the generated electricity. Th**e green energy that was not generated as a result would have been enough to provide for 2.5 percent of the total consumption of the Netherlands in the entire year.**

Europe is still weeeeeeeell behind US in battery storage

even red state heartland Texas now sees battery storage covering up to 9.2 % of grid load at some moments , reducing renewables waste and also reducing the need for natural gas generation in the evening

i wont even talk of California, were battery storage covered over 3.2 % of all electricity grid load between March and November this year, double the percentage of last year
