Raw renewable share:

Month August,September

2021: 52%,40%

2020: 48%,44%

2019: 46%,48%

2018: 38%,41%

The thing about gas is that you can store it. If August produces too much you can use less gas in August and use it in September. If you take both months they average to 46% which is the same as 2020. 10% less renewables in this specific month isn't enough to cause price explosions especially when the previous month had been at an all time high.

I have understood that storing gas and even reducing production by a lot is not exactly simple process at scales we use it. Same goes for oil.
