Spain does not take advantage of the full potential of wind and solar energy due to lack of storage
The Spanish electrical system wastes an important – and growing – part of its potential for electricity from renewable sources. It is a fact that worries experts. The system dispenses with windmills or solar plants, or orders their operation to stop because there is not enough demand to absorb that supply. Given the current low … Continue reading Spain does not take advantage of the full potential of wind and solar energy due to lack of storage
