Wind capacity regularly drops below 10% in Poland. https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/PL

Poland is about the worst country in the EU for on-shore wind so a very cherrypicked counter example.

Do you have numbers for off-shore parks along the Baltic coast? That would be much more interesting.

Again... what do you do, when there's no wind along the baltic coast? Even a single windless night? Do you turn peoples power off, until it starts blowing again?

Wind on the north sea? Or northern Baltic? Or Swedish or Norwegian hydro? Or alps based hydro?

We are talking about a continent scale grid.

If we'll be fully dependant on other countries for our energy this will never pass. Energy independency is a must.

So I presume you are for Poland to exit the EU also? I am not talking about relying on Russia here.

Why, does it forbid energy independency somehow?

And what's wrong with idea that we shouldn't freely give other countries leverage on us?
