Comment on Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night
Leeks@lemmy.world 1 week agoAs unpopular as your comment may be, it is likely correct.
Right now solar is so cheap during the day that they can bid a negative price on the market during the day making sure they are part of the mix. Here is a great article/video on it from Practical Engineer
Obviously solar doesn’t actually cost negative money to run, so this will require them to bid a more realistic price that will, in the long run, facilitate an actual conversion to green energy.
