How a #datacenter company uses stranded #renewableenergy
Some companies are paying low rates for renewable energy that would otherwise go unused.
#Electricity grids across the country don’t always have the capacity to carry all of the energy an intermittent #powerplant can produce. So while at times there’s more than enough wind to produce more power, Belizaire said, there’s no place for that power to go due to aging transmission systems and a lack of local load.

Als über 35-jahre langer Freund der #ErneuerbarenEnergie werde ich mit Freude in Zukunft vielleicht vernehmen können das Bayern hoffentlich ein andere, äh besserer Wind wehen wird, …

Auf der Plattform #smard.de der Bundesnetzagentur sieht es bisher noch sehr mau aus, nur ein '#powerPlant' rund um Erlangen und dann auch noch ein #Heizkraftwerk Erlangen :(

Besser ist da #it'sOWL in Osten von NRW wie z.B. smard.de/home/ueberblick#

The coal-fired power plant built in Hanasaari in the 1960s is being demolished.

In hindsight, the operation of a power plant that was harmful to both the environment and human health in the city center seems absurd, but times and thinking were different 60 years ago.

(The residents living opposite the massive coal pile are probably also pleased to see the eyesore removed.)
