MoveOn Energy, the solar farm’s developer , will install a further 45 MW of power on its own behalf and connect that to the grid by summer 2024. It sits on over 500 hectares (1230 acres) of the former Witznitz II open-cast brown coal mine. From that point the solar farm will feature more than 1.1 million modules.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

The task of balancing the grid and maintaining electrical frequency has grown dangerously the more reliant on wind power we have become – as demonstrated by the widespread power cuts of August 2019.

To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). Many have set renewable portfolio standards (RPSs), mandating that renewables make up a certain part of the power grid. It may seem daunting.
