California and its grid operator are grappling with a strange reality: There is so much solar on the grid that, on sunny spring days when there’s not as much demand, electricity prices go negative. Gigawatts of solar are “curtailed” — essentially, thrown away.
As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power.
Damn straight. Utility companies can eat shit.
We will take some of that in Vermont 🙂
Lmao shut the fuck up
more than needed solar generation is not a problem its a solution
Problem? No, that‘s no problem. The problem is that we still utilize expensive fossil fuels in the 21st century.
oh, no. too much energy available? but how will the poor utility companies make money now? think of the children!!
sounds like a "them" problem, them being the power company. "oh no we have too much power, whatever shall we do", state with permanent rolling blackouts declaims woefully
Oh no! Is PG&E struggling to sell power during the parts of the day where they overcharge for power? Boo hoo. Get fucked.
Batteries not included.
