Comment on Wall Street Is Pivoting From Solar To Solar Plus Storage

Corporate buyers are increasingly demanding renewable projects paired with battery storage
Funny because if I remember correctly China just removed that law. They had that requirement for years.
Nice to see other areas are getting started on curtailment problems from lack of planning.

why would they remove the law ? here in australia we’ve been slowly moving towards more and more negative pricing as coal gets pushed out and has to bid negative to ensure power is still taken by the market

this has made straight solar largely uneconomical so the majority of new projects are solar/battery hybrids

To install solar quicker and free up battery production for EVs. When you have enough EVs plugged in the EVs become the battery storage.

interesting, i suspect when they run into the same problem we did (prices going negative in the middle of the day) it’ll be back again but without gov mandate required

They avoided the problem years ago. That’s why they don’t need the law anymore.
They need to lower the price of batteries again. So that is what China is doing again.
You’re concerned about a problem that has already been solved. Just not every government had a plan or asked China how China already solved it.
