Sweden is moving to greener energy and is currently exporting electricity to Germany and Poland. How come it works here but not down there?
Because bad planing, political sabotage and a whole lot of NIMBY.
Hydro is maxed out basically everywhere already and nuclear is being shut down in Germany, it doesn't take a genius to see it can't work. We can't keep increasing our demand while killing the only large/cheap/on demand energy source to rely on intermittent ones. It might work if we decreased our consumption by a lot but this doesn't seem to be the plan
Sweden has 3.5x more hydro than wind energy (in TWh produced). Germany has 7x less hydro than wind. Sweden can easily use their large hydro reserves to balance out the fluctuations in wind power output.
