The lack of windy days can indeed pose serious challenges to the UK and European energy system as a whole, as wind generation plays a key role in achieving decarbonization goals. Reducing wind energy requires the use of alternative sources, often more expensive and less environmentally friendly, such as gas and coal. The cost of electricity supply contracts in the UK has reached £175.05 per megawatt hour, beating the maximum of January 2023. Rising electricity prices may put pressure on consumers and businesses. In addition, this week the temperature in the north-west of Europe will be below the seasonal norm, which will increase the demand for heating. The current situation highlights the importance of developing and implementing more sustainable and reliable energy storage systems, such as batteries and other technologies that can help offset fluctuations in renewable energy generation. In addition, it is necessary to continue the development of infrastructure and technologies that promote energy efficiency and reduce dependence on fossil energy sources.
