Ontario has a large potential supply of wind and solar energy that could be developed to help phase-out dirty gas plants. It estimated that we would need an additional 843 MW of solar and an additional 4,545 MW of wind capacity (along with a basket of other sources) to ensure the province’s energy needs are met. .

The IESO’s report also included fear-mongering about the likelihood of brown-outs and black-outs if fossil gas were to be phased out. The oft-repeated argument is that wind and solar can’t be counted on during periods of high demand. And between 2009 and 2016, Ontario built over 2000 MW of solar power and about 3000 MW of wind power.

In 2021, solar and wind power were built at a record pace due to surging demand by companies, households and sound economics. While the cost of building solar, wind and natural gas was higher in 2021 than 2020 — due to rising material, freight and fuel prices — new projects skyrocketed. power generated.

More coal and natural gas will certainly increase greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. Because its generators can deliver electricity quickly — “ramping” in the lingo — hydro bridges the period when solar and wind power wane and before gas-fired turbines can power up.

These days if you read renewable energy news, everything is shining for solar photovoltaic: it is fast becoming the cheapest energy source, technology is getting better every year and it is wildly successful from the US to Asia, from Europe to Africa. However, solar energy’s greatest challenge could dampen some of this enthusiasm.

This would require growth rates in the range of 43 to 90 GW per year for solar and 70 to 145 GW per year for wind by the end of the decade, which would mean more than quadrupling the current annual deployment rates for each technology. EIA also projects US battery storage capacity to more than double in 2023.
