French nuclear can make varies its plant at 3-5 %Pr/minute, when cumulating 53 reactors, it is a lot.
Also nuclear is 20% of the marginal electricity (the one that varies).

- natmaka 7y agoNuclear plants doesn't have enough flexibility, therefore thermal (non nuclear) power stations are necessary. In France they produce about 7% of the gridpower. "Not enough flexibility" isn't specific to renewables.
- hokkos 7y agoRenewable have no flexibility, that can't ramp up on demand, they can only be curtailed, which is stupid. Nuclear have a lot of flexibility, as I showed you, the spikes are already dealt with by hydro and reservoir. We just need moar nuclear plants and we can eliminate the few remaining coal and gas plants.
