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

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.

China scraps energy storage mandate for renewable energy plants

These requirements have helped mitigate renewables curtailment in China. However, they have also increased operational costs for renewable energy projects, and many project owners have reported low utilization rates of their storage systems.

Since introduced in 2022, policy mandates requiring solar and wind energy projects to include energy storage systems have been crucial in the acceleration of storage deployment in China.

  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.
