Practicalities of Developing Renewable Energy
Table 4 of this report shows that even with generous assumptions of wind power performance, as its share of generating capacity increases, its ability to displace conventional sources decreases – the conclusion also reached by EirGrid and E.ON Netz. To meet the U.K.’s peak of 50,000 MW for 90 of 100 winters, 59,000 MW of conventional capacity is currently maintained along with 500 MW of wind plant. If the amount of wind is increased to the 2010 target of 7,500 MW, 57,000 MW of conventional capacity . . . Complete article »
