Spain’s excess supply of solar energy may curb new projects
An oversupply of solar power in Spain, at times, pushes prices below zero. This reduces profitability and it means that some projects may not be built. Batteries can absorb excess generation during the day and distribute it at night, but only 3.8% of the 76 GW of planned projects are co-located with batteries. The cost of batteries is not addressed in the article.
