Comment on Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclear
Nighed@feddit.uk 2 days agoFrom the dot graph, it implies that las Vegas is one of the worse options? And Birmingham is somehow best?
Not sure I’m reading that right?

My understanding of that graph is how do you flatten peak energy demands, Birmingham is flat and throughout the year because you have some parts of the year where you need very little battery capacity and other parts where you need a lot. Las Vegas basically always needs a lot because of how hot it gets they end up with huge amounts of peak energy usage
