A long and very informative read on the problems facing the Grid. The predictability of power generation is slowly going out the window. Predictable, firm sources of electricity (such as coal plants) are being removed from the grid, and being replaced by sources of electricity generation such as wind and solar, which fluctuate in their output based on whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. Between 2011 and 2020, roughly 1/3rd of US coal plants were shut down. By 2030, that’s expected to fall by another 25%. By contrast, of the 150 gigawatts of new electrical generation projects being tracked by the EIA, 2/3rds of them are wind or solar projects.
