Clean electricity is officially growing fast enough in China that the level of fossil generation is falling, even as overall demand rises. They've gotten over the hump.

"[LNG]Imports for China this year are estimated at around 64.6 million tons, down from 78.27 million in 2024" Reuters (today).
Here is what that looks like for China compared to what was predicted by BloombergNEF in the middle of last year. So they forecasting mid 80s and it is actual mid 60s.

Misschien helpt het als de netbeheerder eerst eens zelf aan de slag gaat om prijsprikkels in te voeren voor flexibel netgebruik? Dit is geen technische uitdaging waar (weer) een standaard nodig is. Prijzen wel.
Slimme aansturing van net-intensieve apparaten kan ervoor zorgen dat het stroomnet op piekmomenten wordt ontlast, blijkt uit een praktijkproef van Enexis. De oproep die hieruit voortvloeit aan de overheid: neem regie bij het aanstuurbaar maken van apparaten.

When the UK's new nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C starts to produce power in 2030, its guaranteed 'strike price' will have risen to ~150 £/MWh (170 €/MWh). Average wholesale electricity prices will probably be around half of that, so that's a 50% subsidy.

Today on Volts: the subset of cleantech known as "electrotech" -- solar, batteries, heat pumps, etc. -- is marching toward inevitable victory, not because it's low-emissions (though it is), but because it's more efficient & cheaper. I discuss the good news with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.
Clean electrification is inevitable
Kingsmill Bond explains why the global march of "electrotech" has moved beyond the reach of US political interference.
