Abstract
German renewable power generation is dominated by solar PV and wind, both of which are variable, non-dispatchable resources. Given the policy objective to achieve 65% renewable power share by 2030, a pressing question is how to manage surpluses and deficits in an economically and environmentally meaningful way. This is not only an issue for Germany; many countries/regions around the globe face similar challenges as they adjust to the energy transition.
