Orders of magnitude harder to do if one has to get past a USN blockade in the Gulf of Oman though…

🤣

Insgesamt sehe ich negative Großhandelspreise nicht als Problem und die würden auch ohne Tarifförderung vorkommen.

Wobei das aktuelle System um einiges besser ist als das alte. Zumindest saisonale Effekte werden abgeschwächt weitergegeben.

Die größeren Baustellen befinden sich sowieso auf der Demand-Seite.

Ein staatlich gestützter Einspeisetarif der die Marktlage nicht darstellt, da er höhere Preise als die tatsächlich am Großmarkt erzielten Preise auszahlt, ist bitte was wenn keine Tarifförderung?

Zeltweg, Aichfeld, Steiermark

Der Red Bull Ring ist markant!

Zero evidence? 🤣🤣🤣

💯 sadly talk on that front tends to run counter to what would actually need to be done imho, e.g:
- DE not allowing home batteries to dis/charge to/from grid
- AT wanting to charge per kW peak demand per month irrespective of time
- Fixed EV charging prices & not dynamic
- Aversion to zonal pricing

Agreed, also subsidies and fixed year-round feed-in tariffs exacerbate the situation. They’re no longer needed in that form and should either be redesigned or scrapped for new capacity.

But clearly the market doesn’t need more summer optimised solar?
So why incentivise people to build it?

IMHO that was a good strategy 10-5 years ago.

The market has moved on since and we’ll expand peak solar generation capacity as a side effect of building the other stuff that does still add value. So I don’t see this changing in the foreseeable future.

Who’s the consumer here?

I agree btw. that reg and system cost allocation is suboptimal but I don’t think that’s the cause for low econ benefits of people building nothing but summer optimised solar.

“If we want more housing, we need to think where the econ benefit for the guy building houses without a roof is.” 😜

Just don’t build nothing but solar optimised for summer generation? 🤷‍♂️

Solar + BESS -> econ benefit
Solar + winter optimised -> econ benefit
Solar + colocated demand -> econ benefit

Plus one wouldn’t necessarily see it in wholesale prices as curtailing output costs zero and marginal additional output also costs zero for PV.
Thus absent subsidised generation being larger than demand, one would have to look elsewhere to spot this before demand outpaces PV supply.

Economic value for the guy building nothing but solar, yea, but that’s an almost comical boundary to draw.

Battery costs are also dropping drastically, you can buy LFP cells guaranteed to last 6k cycles for 50 USD/kWh on Alibaba today. That’s in the region of 1-2 ct/kWh per cycle.

Current plug & play systems for a typical flat are at about 10x that price currently, but competition will compress that.

We’ll be moving to a market where day time electricity in summer will be essentially free & consumers will install overcapacity (15-20 kWp of
panels on 10kW grid connection) as the value of PV on ones own roof moves to the darker seasons.

This piece is making points obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention, but misses the elephant in the room, which is shifting demand patterns & market adaptation.
Increased EV penetration means adding flexible consumers on a massive scale. Dynamic grid fees are already being rolled out too.

Austria has a Verfassungsgesetz, but Germany has a Grundgesetz. Both function as the respective countries’ constitution.

A dictionary would say:
Verfassung = Constitution
Grundgesetz = “Base Law”, functionally also a constitution

At this rate, we‘ll have an Aviano Papacy by mid-summer.

Also last time I checked, no ports in the Gulf or the Sea of Oman were safe from Iranian attack already.

You can’t trust them converts to not go waaaay over the top is a universal truth across all religions

Actually if one believed that voters are incapable of understanding something that basic, one shouldn’t believe in democracy at all.

Also on Cancer Road (Krebsgasse) 🤣

Das ist doch generell so, nicht nur beim Staat als Prozessgegner?

If I got a good bite every time someone declared something to be a nothingburger. I would have had no burgers, but it does happen a lot. 🤪

It’s some high brow performance art

So Steve, just to check: There’s no concept of overreaction/excessive self-defence vis a vis a cause in criminal law? Should be obvious for a professor, really. 🤔
