This dynamic is evident in Germany, where wholesale power prices are being depressed by must - dispatch, low - marginal cost renewables, but balancing this intermittency is causing retail power prices to rise, both from increasing FIT commitments, and increasingly with costs like capacity payments for baseload power stations and curtailment payments for excess renewables.

But the competitive landscape is formidable, not just due to coal but also to renewables, which in some countries become a cheaper form of new power generation than gas by the mid-2020s, pushing gas - fired plants towards a balancing rather than a baseload role.

Between July 2011 and June 2012, however, data show a gradual adapting of the demand and supply balance to the new situation: By mid-2012, renewable generation reached 11 TWh — a level projected to be reached this year — and net exports increased again to 2010 levels.

The best of both worlds can be achieved by prolonging the oil import era until the mid 2020s, and then shifting progressively to large - scale hydrogen imports — first for baseload power, then for storage and load balancing of intermittent renewables.

Up to now, the relatively small share of renewable power sources added to the grid has been balanced by dispatchable forms of electricity, mainly rapidly deployable gas power plants.

It reached a positive energetic balance with zero carbone emission by the integration of all the renewable energies (solar, thermal and photovoltaic energies, wind energy, hydraulic, tidal power station, osmotic energies, phytopurification, biomass) producing thus durably more energy that it consumes!

Since January 1, 2012, renewable energy sources have accounted for nearly half (47.83 %) of all new installed U.S. electrical generating capacity followed by natural gas (38.34 %) and coal (13.40 %) with oil, waste heat, and «other» accounting for the balance.

In the experiment, greenhouse gas emissions in the coming century were assumed to follow a trajectory that climate modelers refer to as the A1B scenario, in which global economic growth is rapid and driven by a balanced portfolio of energy sources, including fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear.

With growing concerns about the greenhouse gas balance of many types of biomass and bioenergy — as well as effects on biodiversity, land use, and competition with food production — the EU needs to get policies right by capping the contribution of bioenergy to renewables targets at sustainable levels, and promoting only bioenergy that is both sustainable and delivers real carbon benefits.

About 60 percent of Ontario's current generation capacity is already accounted for by low - emission hydro or nuclear - generated electricity, with the balance provided by natural - gas generation and to a lesser extent by renewables.
