With our average electricity demand being 30GW that means all planned storage would only provide 4 hours worth of electricity for the country. We need at least a full weeks worth. Can't get rid of anyyy fossil fuel backups
I mean, its early days. Also long duration energy storage or things like advanced geothermal, tidal turbines, are still developing and gaining economies of scale, so gas will have to fill the void in the short term. we have technology its just expensive. that will change.
