#EnergíaRenovable #Curtailment España alcanzó 100% demanda eléctrica con renovables, pero el exceso provoca 'curtailment': 1,7 TWh desperdiciados en 2023.

"South Australia will be able to import up to 750 MW at any one time, and export up to 700 MW [and] more than 1.3 GW in either direction in late 2027.

That is a significant development for #SouthAustralia, which leads the country, and the world, with a share of 72 % wind and solar in the last 12 months, and could have achieved more but for the lack of sufficient storage and transmission capacity that has resulted in heavy #curtailment of wind and solar at times."

It is easier to curtail an electron vs generating an electron.

"I think this [data centre] problem is easily solved... You probably hear throughout the conference a sense of panic. I don’t feel it. I’m seeing the pace slow down"

"Spillage, or #curtailment, is an expected and efficient feature of #RenewableEnergy systems.

For example, we don’t build additional highway lanes to accommodate traffic for the busiest hour on an Easter weekend.

Coal generators prefer to continue to generate, even at negative prices, rather than completely shut down [which is even more costly. So] renewable energy is spilled, rather than coal shutdown. We actually have a glut of coal, rather than renewables."
