Zato pa države vlagajo mlijarde in milijarde EUR-ov v razvoj zalogovnikov za hranjenje energije iz obnovljivih virov, ker hočejo rešiti ta problem. Recimo Nemčija.

Po zadnjih praznikih se je v Nemčiji dvignilo malo prahu, ker so menda plačali Francozom, da so jim lahko lifrali odvečno eko elektriko. Dokler so Nemci plačevali samo Nemcem, ni tako bolelo. :-) Bolj progresivni mediji so ob praznični eko zmagi seveda poudarjali novo rekordno pokritost potreb z eko štromom, ampak ti bi se morali istočasno tudi vprašati, če bodo njihove tiskarne, strežniki ali oddajniki ob brezvetrju in v temi delovali kar na lepe misli.

Power prices plunged below zero for much of Sunday and the early hours of Christmas Day on the EPEX Spot, a large European power trading exchange, the result of low demand, unseasonably warm weather and strong breezes that provided an abundance of wind power on the grid.
Such “negative prices” are not the norm in Germany, but they are far from rare, thanks to the country’s effort to encourage investment in greener forms of power generation. Prices for electricity in Germany have dipped below zero — meaning customers are being paid to consume power — more than 100 times this year alone, according to EPEX Spot.
On Sunday, factory owners and other major consumers were at times paid more than 50 euros, about $60, per megawatt-hour, a wholesale measure, to take power.
