Sentences with phrase «solar penetration reaches»

The most recent data from the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) finds that a cost - shift does not occur until distributed solar penetration reaches 10 % of electricity sales, and even then that the impact is minimal compared to other drivers of rate increases, like new gas plants or transmission lines.

Not exact matches

Germany is providing much data as to how the pieces might fit together once wind and solar reach fairly high penetrations.

This post is framed around «limitations,» but as I said above, if wind and solar both reach global grid penetrations equal to their capacity factors, that would make VRE cumulatively around half of all global electricity.

As the penetration of wind or solar reaches roughly its capacity factor, the power it supplies will regularly swing between zero and 100 percent of demand.
