Can renewable energy sources guarantee a secure energy supply despite their dependence on the weather?
The best way forward to ensure a secure energy supply for the future is an energy mix of renewable energy sources, intelligent load management in combination with energy storage. This will enable renewable energy sources to ensure a secure, climate-friendly and sustainable energy supply. Solar power is particularly available during periods of peak load demand (midday and in summer) and is excellently complemented by wind power, whose peak values are principally reached in winter. Biomass, hydropower and geothermal energy are continually available and balance out any deficits.
