Yes. But do listen to the experts, else you might get screwed (see Portugal and Spain)
what happened with them over solar? i assume you mean photovoltaics? because Spain is fucking winning with concentrated solar thermal
Because there wasn’t enough mass in the system due to excess solar, during April, a wobble in solar production quickly escalated triggering a massive blackout throughout both Spain and Portugal. This lack of inertia due to few more traditional energy sources had been identified previously and the Portuguese national grid had plans to install artificial ballasts of sorts to create that inertia (plans which were delayed multiple times iirc)
The problem is that that’s not what politicians want tho. Unless the have stocks in the company providing the hardware.
They need to fight all the ghosts that are coming through?
This doesn’t make utilities cheaper. Utility prices are almost universally set, in one way or another, by the government. If the government wants to lower utility prices, they can do so easily by just voting.
This ignores the issue of how we actually pay for the actual cost of utilities. That’s a whole other thing. But long story short - NO, you should not expect utility prices to come down if your government builds solar capacity.
