Good for them. Seriously.
Nerverthelss, in the case of France, it seems mostly redundant. 80% of supply being nuclear means there's much more baseload than variable supply. Storage would be less of a concern.
- kwhitefoot 8y agoThey have quite a large amount of installed wind power some of which is underutilised precisely because of the large nuclear baseload. Having dispatchable battery storage would enable more of the turbines to run more of the time. I drove from Caen to Bordeaux and then to Luxembourg at the end of May, there were wind turbines all over the place.
