Oh hey, that’s my specialization! I’m a programmer working on software for energy providers to control the power grid (both electric and gas), manage and plan incoming/outgoing energy as well as perform the legally required communications related to those tasks (calculations, reclamations etc.)
Long story short: this is a bullshit take. While yes, solar power does produce “too much” energy at certain times, most if not all countries in the world are still reliant on non-renewable energy during the night. The solution is not to piss away the solar power, it’s to store it for when it is needed.

They already have a very advanced system to transfer actually valuable data (when/how much power needs to go to the grid, end user data, redispatch of solar panels etc etc). We’ve actually taken that complex and valid system and clipped its wings to do something way less useful :')

The German government has decided that starting on October 1st of this year, they don’t want energy providers who want to call up another energy provider to just google the other company and use that number. They want an entire new system of message exchange for the sake of transmitting data like a company’s address and phone number directly to all it’s market buddies.
I’m part of the team who had to build that shit within the last 4 months or so. It’s a neat project and everyone gained knowledge in AWS cloud stuff, but realistically, every one of our customers will use the system exactly once (as required by the government) and then never again.
- Comment on Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why? 7 months ago:
Exclusively IntelliJ Ultimate, cause that’s what my work pays for. I try not to program outside of work.
