In the fatherland of windmills, they should have known that intermittent energy sources are no good. Better late than never, the Dutch grid operator TenneT warned that by relying on “renewables,” the Netherlands has made itself more dependent on weather, and warned of shortages of electricity by 2030.
NL Times reported that according to grid operator TenneT, “there is still sufficient production capacity to supply the Netherlands with electricity, at least until 2025. But the demand for electricity will increase after that, the grid operator expects. And that demand goes hand in hand with decreasing electricity generation from European coal, gas, and nuclear power plants. In the meantime, countries seek refuge in generating sustainable energy, for example, from wind and sun. But they make the electricity system increasingly dependent on the weather, according to TenneT, resulting in a decrease in the security of the electricity supply.”
