As you say renewable electricity needs to be stored. No point having electric vehicles if the electric comes from fossil fuels.
With wind power expected to rise to 50gw that should generate excess electricity when it’s windy but if not stored will be wasted by shutting down turbines. |
Graham thnks for link in 33014 and "Government secures record pipeline of clean cheap energy projects". Cheap is relative to what; I presume gas generation mainly. But does the "cheap" include the cost of storage (*), which I guess will load the end price considerably. Government I suspect using emotive words like cheap but dont make clear the overall cost to the end user. I seem to recall that to get the wind farm offers taken up recently the MW price was raiseded from £40 (no takers) to £80.
* Your 330115 makes the point that wind is not always adequate.
As part of the electricity need there is AI and all the other electric stuff that was never needed (cars etc). Seems the growth could be 40 - 50%. It would be nice to see calculations from the Government on whether wind/sola is expected to be adequate. Perhaps Small modular nuclear is a big market and this is not wind or sun dependent. Maybe that Uranium has been going up indicates the need for this in addition wind/solar as perhap there is a view these tow can't produce the amount needed.
For the electrolyser market it seems the only way is up, let's hope ITM gets a good slice.
---------------------------- "Going forward, between 2023 and 2033, thanks to both the expansion of data centers and an acceleration of electrification, Europe’s power demand could grow by 40% and perhaps even 50%, according to Goldman Sachs Research. At the moment, around 15% of the world’s data centers are located in Europe. By 2030, the power needs of these data centers will match the current total consumption of Portugal, Greece, and the Netherlands combined." |

Tick tock |
Not only itm boast high efficiency? Obviously others got tested products too? |
Quite breezy |
I realise it’s not the windiest of days but not sure if turbines have been turned off.
The UK has roughly 30gw of wind energy available however at the moment only 3.5gw is actually being generated. |

Interesting :- |
This is only going one way

The driver that will push Green Hydrogen forward is e-fuel, required for aviation and clean energy replacement for current gas application . |
Unhappily this all works in Snp government time which is, at best, glacial.On the upside ITM and Scottish Power have the opportunity to reconfigure the electrolyser configuration, getting the newer and higher performance kit in place. |
Offshore wind turbines do not need more money, they need rapidly accelerated approval processes. Ten to fifteen years is bloody ridiculous given we are in an energy 'emergency'.
Govt need to prioritise low income pensioners and families facing heat or eat choices rather then will the turbines disturb jellyfish breeding rates.
Define your priorities and then JFDI, at pace. |
