1/ Let's start the new year with a new publication alert: why #baseload power plants are not essential for future power systems.
Perspective article from the German Academies of Sciences "Energy Systems of the Future" project with a stellar author team: https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-physical-science/fulltext/S2666-3864(25)00649-6
There is a controversial debate over the need for “baseload” power plants. We argue that a secure, net-zero European electricity system based on variable #renewables is technically and economically viable when paired with extensive flexibility, #storage, and #interconnection options.
