Forcing Renewable Operators to Pay for Network Upgrades is Impeding the Green Energy Revolution
They are the single cause for those costs. Without flicker energy in the network, we would not need those upgrades. Having surfed for free on network support that was paid for by fossil energy is certainly a nice thing. It’s not honest though. Now, this free ride is over. We need network upgrades (real ones) to deal with renewables. And don’t forget, the overcapacity that had been used up had a reason: it was here to deal with exceptional circumstances. The buffer is gone.
