Renewable Energy Enters Its Harder Phase: Grids and Storage
Original: ⚡ Renewable energy is entering its hard part. Solar and wind are scaling fast, but grids, storage, transmission and flex
Solar and wind power are scaling rapidly worldwide, but analysts argue the easy part is over. The next challenge lies in electricity grids, storage, transmission lines and flexible demand, which determine whether clean power can stay reliable around the clock. Commenters note that deployment of generation has outpaced the infrastructure needed to deliver and balance that electricity, making grid reform and storage investment the deciding factors for the energy transition.
Why now: Discussion of whether grid and storage bottlenecks, not generation capacity, will now limit the clean energy transition
