Grid import snashot from this morning showing pasterisation cycle (while grid intensity relatively low) then dishwasher then heat pump DHW and space-heat!

A busy ~5.2kWh import start to the (cold, ~5°C) day with a pasteurisation cycle (~2.9kWh, 8A/~2kW grid limit) with a 7-minute pause in the middle for low grid frequency, two spikes of a dishwasher eco programme (~0.7kWh, ~2kW), then a DHW production spike (~0 […]

But the first problem is lacking demand. Doesn’t make sense to produce something no one needs. Europe needs more industrial investment

I wouldn’t support any power generation in the Nordics. As you said it’s the lacking demand, low and volatile prices.
