The shared goal of many countries across the globe is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions and stabilise the harmful effects of climate change. Switching to sustainable and renewable energy sources is a vital part of this plan.
Renewable energy comes from sources that replenish naturally and continuously. Also called sustainable energy, it includes solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, and biomass energy.
French renewables
Wind and solar energy have grown considerably over recent years; however, the demand for them is not keeping up with the fast pace. This has resulted in France producing too much solar energy.
France began stockpiling energy when there was an expectation that Russia would limit supplies; however, this did not come to fruition. The fear that France is now overproducing solar energy could result in threats to the grid, finances, and the nuclear fleet; what’s more, concerns have been raised that development in these areas may come to a standstill if usage remains stagnant.
The growing gap between the generation of solar energy and its usage will be a great challenge to overcome, with the stability of the system depending on this being achieved effectively.
Solar panel installation
The French renewables crisis shows just how efficiently solar energy can be harnessed and stored with the correct system in place.
Households in the UK can benefit from switching to cost-saving solar energy as a means of becoming less reliant on the grid and benefitting from the capability to store energy for future use with the addition of battery storage. Solar panels, which are fitted on homes or commercial buildings, work by converting the sun’s energy into solar power, even in the often less-than-sunny UK climate.
