Is it, though? China built some high capacity long-distance transmission lines for wind with relatively low losses. Obviously costs are higher if the line is only used for 6h a day but that doesn't mean that transmission isn't efficient.
- cbcoutinho 9y agoI should have specified that I meant economically inefficient. It may be technically efficient, but the low load factor (I would be surprised if wind is more than around 20-25% operational) would make transmission line that much more expensive to install than a similarly sized facility with a higher load factor
