Yes. But do listen to the experts, else you might get screwed (see Portugal and Spain)

what happened with them over solar? i assume you mean photovoltaics because Spain is fucking winning with concentrated solar

Because there wasn’t enough mass in the system due to excess solar, during April, a wobble in solar production quickly escalated triggering a massive blackout throughout both Spain and Portugal. This lack of inertia due to few more traditional energy sources had been identified previously and the Portuguese national grid had plans to install artificial ballasts of sorts to create that inertia (plans which were delayed multiple times iirc)

Ah gotcha, yeh afaik that was definitely a grid failure rather than renewables failure in any form.

It was a grid failure triggered by a poor management of one of the problems of solar, which is NOT being produced with turbines
