The economic challenge with renewable energy

A nonlinear increase is found in balancing costs as wind/solar penetration rises. The model's prediction of balancing costs at the 70% wind/solar threshold, according to the International Energy Agency's (IEA's) net-zero forecast, results in balancing costs of nearly $1,000/MWh, which are likely to be politically infeasible.
