Overcapacity

Photovoltaic power generation overcapacity and energy storage

Spyros Foteinis highlights the acknowledged problem that an insufficient capacity to store energy can result in generated renewable energy being wasted (Nature 632, 29; 2024). But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem — excessive energy storage — have been mostly overlooked. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. 6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest. .
