  1. The End of Baseload Power as We Know It

    China and France, in February 2026, both addressed the impact of growing renewables penetration in their electric power…

  2. 1/ Let's start the new year with a new publication alert: why #baseload power plants are not essential for future power systems.

    Perspective article from the German Academies of Sciences "Energy Systems of the Future" project with a stellar author team: cell.com/cell-reports-physical

    There is a controversial debate over the need for “baseload” power plants. We argue that a secure, net-zero European electricity system based on variable #renewables is technically and economically viable when paired with extensive flexibility, #storage, and #interconnection options.

  3. Typical #Liberals: build more dams and burn more forests. Now it's put nuclear reactors near where workers live. #Baseload is the biggest lie. Wind + Solar + Storage means nuclear is a deadly lame duck. #QandA

  4. Viable Renewable Energy smashes heatwave peak demand records in my state (South Oz).
    South Oz, was also the home of the first Tesla grid battery.

  5. Power plants with a minimum output are passés,
    Say German engineers and scientists.

    "#Baseload power plants supply electricity continuously, whereas so-called residual load plants run only intermittently when needed.

    “A combination of solar and wind energy with storage, a flexible hydrogen system, flexible electricity demand and #ResidualLoad power plants will be necessary for a climate-friendly and reliable electricity supply,” the academies said. "

  6. Australia hits 4 million rooftop PV installations, reaching 25 GW of capacity

    Australia has recorded its 4 millionth rooftop solar installation, maintaining its status as a world leader with 25 GW of total capacity, surpassing the amount of nationwide coal generation.

  7. This is something I was always wondering about the idea of base-load electric consumption. Even if say a nuclear power-plant produces a constant amount of power, consumption is not constant, so you need some form of storage to time-shift that production around. In Switzerland this was done with dams, but also by lowering the price at night and sending a special signal to households so they could heat up the water at night.

  8. The end of "Baseload" in Australia

    Australia’s biggest coal generator AGL Energy is able to shut down coal units in the middle of the day, effectively making way for solar to dominate the grid.

    The first trials have been held at Bayswater in the Hunter Valley, and involves a process called “two-shifting” – meaning it takes a unit offline and brings it back online within a 12 hour period.

  9. But did your energy REALLY come from you? Or did it go on a loop via the substation? Or did a coal plant power your household appliance? 😆

    One thing is for sure: Coal fire power production is reducing over time, as more wind, solar & storage comes online. Only #wind & #solar are on a massive installation spike.

    Gas power is the most interesting fossil fuel because it can be switched on and off quickly. Coal needs to stay warmed up just in case. That’s where “#baseload power” comes from.
