Governments curtail wind and other renewable generation when generating capacity outweighs the grid’s ability to deliver electricity to demand sources.
The government has to pay some generators producing “too much” electricity to stop while switching on oil/gas power plants. (It’s not too much, it’s just in the wrong place.) This is largely caused by insufficient grid transmission infrastructure and a lack of electricity export systems to balance the load.
Tom Bray explains why the green energy transition is still possible despite this problem.
