That's an inherent problem of non-fossil electricity production. Electrical energy is expensive to store (some hydro plants e.g. in Austria do that). For both nuclear and renewable, the marginal costs for producing an…
Coal plants in Germany have the same problem as elsewhere: They are becoming too expensive. Renwable power in Germany is mostly a mix of solar and wind energy. In the summer, the curve of solar production fits nicely…
