OECD ecomony, averaging 80% renewables (wind, solar primarily). The other 20% is gas. They have enough generation now. To rid of that 20% (I'm not sure the economics makes sense) they need to build pumped storage.
Oh, and now they've made the transition, electricity prices are cheaper than non-renewable generation of 5 years ago.
