Solar curtailment

Solar curtailment

Solar expanded faster than any energy source in history, creating a costly paradox: on sunny days, we now "waste" clean energy.

What you'll learn:

  • Why curtailment matters: 7.3 TWh curtailed, expanding beyond Germany and Spain
  • Value squeeze: Capture rates hit 17% in Spain, challenging profitability
  • Two curtailment types: Economic (negative prices) vs technical (grid protection)
  • New strategy: Shift from maximizing output to maximising value through storage and flexible demand
  • Kpler intelligence: Proprietary forecasts for capture prices and curtailment
