TL;DR
- A new government project aims to contract long-term electricity supply, focusing on renewables and battery storage.
- Industry experts question the success of an auction exclusively for renewable technologies, citing potential price increases and limited supply.
- Concerns exist about the ability of solar power to meet demand during peak hours without sufficient storage.
- The lack of clear guarantees for future payments could deter project participation and financing.
- Previous long-term auctions have been conducted, but the current focus on specific technologies raises questions.
- Battery storage is intended to support intermittent renewable sources, but high costs and regulatory immaturity are significant hurdles.
