Global renewable power generation is growing at an unprecedented rate , driven by the favourable economics of wind and solar along with energy security concerns around oil and gas (largely caused by recent wars), and emissions goals. These options can enable relatively high shares of wind and solar on a grid.

Covid19 created a fall in generation demand. By late Spring, we were receiving reports that the UK’s coal-powered energy had fallen to ‘ pre-industrial revolution levels ’, and by the summer, that pollution levels had dropped by half. The authors of the report also showed that carbon emissions fell by 16% compared to figures from 2019.

Department of Energy that found that solar power could generate up to 45% of the U.S. Why such a heavy focus on solar power? It concludes that the latter two scenarios would require approximately 1,050-1,570 gigawatts of solar power, which would meet about 44%-45% of expected electricity demand in 2050.

After all, consumer prices have become much higher than the cost of producing wind and solar power. This system, in use since the start of the liberalisation of electricity markets in the 1990s, works as a continuous auction, ensuring that electricity sources with the lowest cost of production are used to meet demand first.
