So increase it further and once exceeding demand is the default in summer days allow companies to build storage right next to wind generation. The fact that they are only getting cheap renewable power for it’s actual price instead of prices of that broken energy market makes commercial investment into storage worthwhile. So free storage infrastructure for the public, paid by private money making a profit.
In recent years I’ve been following the development of the energy storage industry. The latest video by Just Have a Think made me realize that an energy storage facility should use a variety of different technologies. Some would store energy for a few hours, some for days and some technologies would be used for seasonal energy storage.
I really think we need to start building these facilities. Not just pilot plants, but actual production scale facilities.
Rather than waste the electricity, could we not put the excess towards energy-intensive but time-insensitive projects like direct-air carbon capture, green hydrogen production, or desalination of seawater?
