All this consumes more fuel and emits more CO2 than would be the case if the fossil fuels were
operating at their optimum efficiency, or just responding to demand without the added inefficiency caused by the intermittent renewable energy generators.
Not exact matches
Given two engines of similar weight, both
operated at their respective
optimum efficiency (i.e. maximum mechanical work done per unit of chemical enthalpy in the burnt fuel), you will end up with similar fuel consumption for either engine type.
The figures I quoted above are for the fossil fuel plants
operating continuously
at optimum efficiency.
