Renewables provide more than half UK electricity for first time
The cost of renewable electricity production has come down faster than anyone has anticipated. In particular, the production from off shore turbines.
The days of high output are uncertain, which puts a strain on management of the electricity supply. This is exacerbated by the lack of storage (~1% comes from storage).
Without storage and with the uncertainty of what days will provide electricity, we still need coal plants and other traditional sources of electricity. Storage is the next technology piece that is needed to put us on a path of renewable energy usage at all times.
