This means that in the event of a heatwave, a spike in electricity use would ultimately test the power grid’s ability to meet supply with demand, potentially resulting in summer brownouts or blackouts. These concerns make it difficult for the grid to fully rely on renewables.

Several out-of-state power grids also reported emergency conditions on Monday and Tuesday. CAISO also was able to secure some scarce imported power, and wind power coming on late in the day helped too. It ended the demand about 30 minutes later as demand began to fall and wind power ramped back up.

Clean energy now comprises 38 per cent of global power capacity after another record year of additions driven largely by wind and solar, latest figures reveal. It calculates that across all countries, renewable power grew by 9.1 per cent in 2021, bringing clean energy's share of global power capacity to 38 per cent.

The feed-in into the power grid for power supply consists of conventional energy sources, such as nuclear-, coal- and gas power, as well as renewable energy sources. This means the remaining demand for electricity that cannot be covered by wind and solar power.

In 2022, we expect more utilities will likely get onboard and firm up commitments and strategies. As more eco-invested consumers choose green power, it increases the demand for renewable energy sources. Raw source materials needed to generate power, i.e., sun, wind, or water, are basically free.

As has been well documented, the pipeline for offshore wind power projects in the UK is one of the largest in the world, and the solar power sector is also on the cusp of a major scale up over the coming decade. More small and medium businesses, too, must be encouraged to join the fray. Credit: Climate Change Committee.
