It depends on what you use to buffer / store it, really. But generally its price per MWh is dropping as turbines get bigger, so short of any specifics in the question around the part of the mix it forms, a "yes" would seem to apply.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoWind sometimes gets less valuable as storage gets cheaper. Wind generally blows strongest at dusk/dawn when demand is high and solar is poorly available. But cheap storage allows cheap solar to fill the dusk demand.
- hkt 2y agoFair point, storage changes things. Being as I live in Britain though, I'm going to assume solar won't be much good for us in winter even if there's storage :) Also vaguely related, it is bizarre that we don't do more with compressed air energy storage.
