Isn’t this the story of Energiewende? The theoretical generation capacity is very high but their solar power capacity factor in reality is 10%, add wind and (debatably green) biomass and its still only 20% of installed renewable capacity. So that’s a significant gap that coal ends up covering (more than a few percent). Expanding the program by a factor of 5x to account for inefficient power factor is probably not in the cards considering electricity is already the highest price in Europe. Doing a u-turn on nuclear or a new initiative to replace coal with LNG is more likely in next two decades. https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/renewables/germanys-energiewende-20-years-later https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/renewables/germanys-energie...
