Mountain marvel: how one of biggest batteries in Europe uses water to stop blackouts.

Dinorwig or Mynydd Gwefru, as it is known locally, can be called upon to generate electricity within 75 seconds by releasing 86,000 gallons of water a second down a cavernous 500-metre vertical tunnel.

The water crashes into six turbines, each weighing about 500 tonnes, which generate high-volume blasts of renewable power on demand.

@Sustainable2050 yes thats great BUT still a lot has to be done in terms of #storage and #solar #power is at least 12% (only?) of #China's #electricity usage 😬 btw #solar is #fusion in the #sky :D (for all #nuclear power Fans XD)

Why is it so hard to find numbers on that topic? State secret?

2022, solar power accounted for approximately 12% of China's total electricity generation according to ChatGPT

Some countries are lucky like #Sweden and #Norway (loads of #hydropower) others need invest

Four days ago: #Spain Signals Openness to Keeping #NuclearPowerPlants Open

By Daniel Basteiro and Thomas Gualtieri
April 24, 2025

"Spain is signaling for the first time that it’s open to reconsidering the shutdown of #NuclearPlants over the next decade amid a global revival of #AtomicEnergy.
While that’s not the plan agreed with nuclear plant operators, and it would be up to them to present concrete proposals, extensions are not ruled out, Environmental Transition Minister Sara Aagesen said in an interview.

" 'Nuclear energy will be present in our mix at least until 2035' but could go beyond that if companies propose extensions, which hasn’t happened yet, she said prior to an International Energy Agency summit on the future of energy security. 'We’re not considering anything because there is no specific proposal on the table.' "

Today [April 28th] "Spain's nuclear power plants automatically stopped, but diesel generators were activated to keep them in 'safe condition', officials said."

The World surpasses 40% clean electricity with Europe leading as a 'solar superpower'.

The world generated more than 40% of its electricity from low-carbon sources in 2024, for the EU it's 71%.

Solar energy is soaring in a targeted race to build an entirely clean electricity system. Solar in the EU almost doubled in the three years to 2024 to account for 11% of electricity.
