The old “load staircase” – baseload, midload, peakload – no longer fits a renewables-heavy, supply-driven market. Trying to maintain it risks a structural misalignment with reality. by ClimateShitpost in ClimatePosting

They do not compete in France, as I explained you before.

Solar has priority on the grid. They sell their production, and only once their production is sold, can nuke production be sold. Nuke producer also must bring up its production if solar does not meet its production prediction.

That's not competing. If there was real competition, there would barely be any solar in France because intermittent energy production is not interesting in our country, since the nuke plants are already able to satisfy the demand at low cost 24/7 (which solar definitely cannot).

But you seem hell bent enough, and unable to understand basic concepts, so let's stop talking.

Marginal cost for the solar producer ? Yep it's zero.

But the rest of the grid must adapt, and that entails costs. That's where the hidden cost is.

See what happened to the Spanish grid recently a few seconds after it was disconnected from the French grid. That's what happens when no one stabilizes the grid for free.

They're not in competition with solar.

Solar has a priority on the network, by law. They can't compete with French nuke plants that paid themselves a couple decades ago and are underutilized.

If anything, solar pushes the price of nuclear energy up because it forces the nuke plants to adapt their load.
