Without massive PV expansion electricity short-falls are impending

Enerparc

Market researchers warn of an electricity generation shortfall as a result of the nuclear and coal phase-out, a growing demand for electricity through more e-cars, and too little expansion of renewable energies. Tripling the photovoltaic inventory by 2030 and significantly more storage can secure energy supply in a climate-friendly way.
