Poland officials have acknowledged an upgrade to its power grid its necessary if the country is to cope with the transmission of energy from renewable and nuclear sources
Poland’s grid operator temporarily disconnected its wind and solar facilities over the weekend due to an oversupply of renewable energy threatening the country’s electrical grid.
“In connection with the state to the security of electricity supply, we would like to inform you about the shutdown of [photovoltaic] sources,” Poland’s grid operator, PSE, said Sunday.
PSE said the weekend’s sunny weather increased the solar panels’ production during reduced demand.
The scale of oversupply of electricity exceeded 3 gigawatts, necessitating the reduction of renewable energy sources, PSE said, including those connected to the medium-voltage grid, and those connected to low-voltage grid.
