Curtailment also occurs most often due to the fact there is nowhere to store the energy.
This is a huge issue in Ontario Canada.... Former Gov was big on Turbines but saw no need for grid storage batteries. Current Government started ripping down Turbines and even had to cough up millions & millions to cancel contracts with the hardware already on site ready for installation!
They even chased BYD away from building a factory until just recently when they relented. Instead of being sane, they are refurbishing the Pickering Nuclear disaster site and the Darlington Nuclear facility... 30 billion allocated, will, of course, it'll cost 40, and still with nowhere to store any of the waste.... remember these are the idiots that wanted to put a Nuclear Waste Vault on the Great Lakes.... such genius, one screw up and North America's fresh water reserve is pooched.
Imagine how many Turbines & Grid Storage Power Stations could be put in place for 40 Billion Dollars ! and no waste to deal with for 100,000 years after it's created.
