I doubt that will change. If you want companies to have enormous amounts of idle capacity waiting around for a cloudy day then you have to make sure they can make money.
- grecy 12y agoWe're not going to need that capacity anymore, so we don't need the companies anymore. i.e. when the massive majority of houses and business have their own solar and storage, we don't need to pour billions into coal plants and the grid to have it sitting around waiting for... nothing.
- tsotha 12y agoI don't see how that will ever make sense. The only way you can guarantee your house will have enough power is to overbuild the storage by quite a bit. It's not worth the money.
- grecy 12y agoWhen the majority of houses have a good amount of solar and storage, then the grid we already have will be more than enough, therefore it can go into "maintenance" mode. (likely even reduction, I suspect)
