The fact that it is indeed possible to change an industrial nation's energy supply to renewable energy without power outages has now been sufficiently proven. However, the next stage of the energy transition is now imminent: What to do with the electricity not needed right away?

A powerhouse for the production of renewable energy in Europe is Great Britain as well as Germany. The British strength lies, above all, in offshore wind, but they are also asking what to do with the energy in slack times?
