California’s two days of rolling blackouts in August were the result of disconnects between its existing grid reliability constructs and the needs of an increasingly solar-powered grid, and its failure to prepare for a Western U.S.-wide wide heatwave that undermined its reliance on out-of-state resources.

Climate change poses new risks to the power grid, and Costa Rica has a lot of work left to do to get more solar and wind farms online. Hydropower will still be a great percentage of the country’s energy mix, but new energy sources will be added to the system, for example: solar power and wind.

Green hydrogen is both an untested and a potentially vital way for renewable-energy-powered grids to store their intermittent power for later use, not just for hours at a time, but for days, weeks or even seasons ahead.

In 2023, some things are impossible to ignore. Then there’s energy: whether it’s $2 gas or higher home heating bills , powering our lives has gotten pricier. Even without carbon pricing, wind power is set to be 40 per cent cheaper than gas-fired power in Alberta and Ontario by 2030. They also share a common solution.

These plants are in an arid region, with little access to water for power plant cooling. So, during the heat of the summer and without water cooling, binary power plants become less efficient. One binary plant in Nevada also uses solar thermal, which makes me think about companies like RayGen in Australia.

Indeed, a world powered by upwards of 25-30% wind and solar still needs electricity 24 hours a day. Further, many clean energy advocates point to a scenario in which we overbuild vast amounts of wind and solar power generating facilities — because their cost to build is so low — and then store the power so it can be used later.

For fossil fuel ideologues, sowing misinformation about wind and solar power is proving to be an effective stall tactic.
