The challenge with renewables is storage for power on demand. Batteries, Pumped Hydro and even Hydrogen are storage options.   For many years we have had peak and off peak electricity.

Reposit Power and V2G offer the possibility of charging batteries in a fixed location or in your car when electricity is cheap and feeding it into Grid when tariff is good https://repositpower.com/ ANU V2G project https://perambuler.ramin.com.au/.../v2g-vehicle-to-grid.html Climate Change and Electric Vehicle Submissions to Budget https://perambuler.ramin.com.au/2021/06/2021-inner-west-council-budget.html Transition of Council’s Fleet - June 17, 2020 Council Meeting 10 March 2020 https://perambuler.ramin.com.au/2020/06/transition-of-councils-fleet.html Vehicle to Grid https://perambuler.ramin.com.au/2021/06/v
