> Spain in the hundreds of MW range.
Its got to the point where there is now so much solar, that during solar maximum, there is too much energy and plants are being told to turn off.
Natural gas was the main pricing predictor, but now that link has been pretty much severed. Given that spain is dependent on russian gas, its good that they are able to _try_ to lower their dependence.
Spain has only started installing storage too; that will not only make energy cheaper but also increase reliability massively. California's grid is rock solid these days because of it, and it pays for itself with time arbitrage of solar.
