Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar
Mihies@programming.dev 4 days agoHydro is more or less constant and wind is random. How does one cover a huge amount of solar energy when it’s out? You can’t increase hydro and you can’t force wind to blow.

Wind tends to happen when there is a lack of sun, and hydro in a country as dry as Portugal is better kept in reserve when there is enough sun, so yes you can turn it on when there is a temporary lack of sun.
