Looks like .NL has reached a point where it has so much Solar that on sunny days the price goes negative. But not enough grid scale storage, so the sun goes down and we start burning dinosaur farts again.

@quixoticgeek it's weekend.
What we need more than storage is a change in the manufacturing industry. Start producing when energy is cheap instead of when labor is cheap (daytime). That will take the bulk of the isdue
@quixoticgeek thing electrical steelmaking, making salt and chlorine etc etc. I bet there are more.
@Schemerwoude I would have thought those were 24/7 operations. It's not like you can turn a blast furnace off...
@Schemerwoude demand side management is also good...
