- Comment on Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power 6 days ago:
Yeah, California’s storage can only absorb 6GW for about four hours. Will probably be double that by end of year, but still needs a fair bit more to handle the full daily cycle.

It’s more that people are confused about what an cost-optimal system looks like — if you’re building around renewables, it means there will inherently be periods of excess production, where we’re forced to curtail production, and spill sunshine or wind, and the price drops to zero or below. In California, that means the springtime, when there’s a lot of sunshine, combined with moderate temperatures. There will also be periods where energy is relatively scarce (nighttime winter heating, hot days with lots of AC running) and the price is high.

There’s already some storage: its the #1 source of electricity during the evening peak, but realistically, we’re going to want enough renewables that we sometimes see curtailment

- Comment on US Treasury Secretary Yellen to Warn China Against Flood of Cheap Green Energy Exports 4 weeks ago:
It’s elsewhere:
Solar. We expect a record addition of utility-scale solar in 2024 if the scheduled 36.4 GW are added to the grid. This growth would almost double last year’s 18.4 GW increase, which was itself a record for annual utility-scale solar installation in the United States. As the effects of supply chain challenges and trade restrictions ease, solar continues to outpace capacity additions from other generating resources.
Wind. Operators report another 8.2 GW of wind capacity is scheduled to come on line in 2024. Following the record additions of more than 14.0 GW in both 2020 and 2021, wind capacity additions have slowed in the last two years.
- Comment on US Treasury Secretary Yellen to Warn China Against Flood of Cheap Green Energy Exports 4 weeks ago:
I think it makes the point that we’re getting record renewables without lots of leases actually being signed, which is what matters here.
I’m expecting to start setting declines in aggregate worldwide fossil fuel use around 2026 or 2027 as the rate of renewable deployment accelerates.
