This paper from @iriepin.bsky.social and @nworbmot.bsky.social just blew my mind.

Google worked with them earlier, getting them to build an open source energy model to see what getting to 100% hourly fossil-free power by 2030 in diff countries might look like.

On the means, costs, and system-level impacts of 24/7 carbon-free energy procurement
A growing number of public and private energy buyers are interested in 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) procurement, which means that every kilowatt-hour…

Shifting jobs between hyperscale data centres can help them chase renewables ☀️💨 around the globe, lowering the cost of hourly-matched clean energy commitments.

New commentary together with @iriepin.bsky.social, @gzachmann.bsky.social and Victor Zavala.

A common criticism of energy system models is their reliance on single weather years, despite significant year-to-year variations.

But how can we ensure robust infrastructure planning in this case? What happens during rare events like the once-a-decade Dunkelflaute?
