Flexibility of demand is crucial for reaping the benefits of low renewable electricity generation costs. Great visualization from Aurora Energy Research @hannskoenig.bsky.social:

Super interessante Studie von @aroth.bsky.social und @wpschill.bsky.social über das Zusammenspiel von Speichern, Erneuerbaren und dem Handel von Strom!
Future electricity systems in the EU rely mainly on wind and solar. Many of you ask: what happens when there is no wind or sun?

Electricity storage and interconnection to the rescue! But how do these two interact?

🧵 Get ready for some energy modelling content!

Der Gründungsaufruf der Wagenknecht-Partei leugnet den Klimawandel immerhin nicht. Später heißt es „Aktionismus“ gefährde die Akzeptanz von „sinnvollen Maßnahmen“.

Aber weiß jemand was die „sinnvollen Maßnahmen“ sein sollen, die sie stattdessen vorschlagen?

Good question! Indeed I'd say any "real-world-ETS" is not a cap-and-trade as assumed in most economic models.

After all, many modelled conclusions rest on the assumption of an immutable cap. Hardly, true as the cap is often (even adhoc) renogiated. And as the MSR shows: Negotiators look at prices.

Sehr spannende Gegenüberstellung von der Veränderung von Heizverbrauch und -preisen im letzten Jahr im @diwberlin.bsky.social-Wärmemonitor.

Sowohl der Anstieg der abgerechneten Preisen als auch von den Verbräuchen unterscheidet sich regional relativ stark...

Slide of the day from IEA World Energy Outlook 2023: Globally, the fossil industry is still reluctant to go for low/zero carbon technologies, while a massive redistribution of wealth from the general public as energy consumers to the fossil industry's shareholders has taken place.
