  flexible energy sources may be used

  What do you think a flexible energy source is?

  It also says:

  Events that last more than two days over most of Europe happen about once every five years.

  To be clear, I am in favor of importing electricity across borders but if most of Europe is affected by Dunkelflaute then I don’t think it would be sufficient. Lets hope for the best and plan for the worst.

    NG or hydrogen peaker plants, hydro, tidal, flywheels, etc.

    That’s why this looks like a great idea:

      Yep I agree that is a great idea. I’m sure something like that will be developed at some point.
