"As I understand it, there is an intent to shut down some large coal and nuclear units in the next few years. That, IMHO, looks like it will be a complete disaster on any of: Very high demand days, very low demand days, very high wind days, very low wind days. And lord help you when a very cold very high demand day shows up without wind. “Dark and cold” are not a good combination…"
From the comments -"Germany is way ahead in that front. The grid is so unstable due to wind/solar that their neighbors installed special circuits to block Germany’s overflow.So all in all they invested 140 billion euros to replace a few nuclear reactors, with as a result that energy prices skyrocket, the grid becomes unstable and they have to run coal and gas fired power plants at full steam anyway."
