Don’t be taken for a ride with the energy transition.
Politicians and business leaders are not very good at giving bad news. We all like to focus on the positive, and this is true about the energy transition. The zero carbon goal and climate stability are worthy of our admiration and the constant media hype about how much solar, wind and batteries are being installed reinforces our excitement about the journey.
The problem is very few people will tell you the journey is going to bumpy, painful and expensive. Let’s be honest. We are trying to reengineer and fundamental change the largest and most complex system on the planet (the electric grid), in real time and without a plan. We simply hope that with tax incentives and government grants, everything will magically work out. It won’t and it hasn’t. While the end state might be energy and climate nirvana, the path will encompass:
- Higher energy prices
- Greater energy price volatility
- Increased frequency and duration of power outages.
- Declining power quality leading to process shutdowns.
- Limited energy capacity for business expansion. Long interconnection queues.
It’s good to look to the future, but you need someone to look out for you in the present. The energy transition has made energy markets complicated and risky.
