A $26m chunk of the infrastructure bill set aside to prove it can handle inverter-based energy

The demonstration initiative will see up to 10 solar, wind and energy storage projects deployed around the country at existing solar and wind facilities capable of generating at least 10 MW of power.

The DoE said the US electrical grid was built to deliver power from a few large fossil fuel-burning facilities, but the production levels of renewables are forcing that to change. In the case of wind, energy is generated as an alternating current – the same that flows from the generators of conventional power plants through to the grid – but differences in frequency require it to be converted. Solar panels generate DC power, which has to be converted to AC.

Lol, sure, and now try to quadruple the power capacity. Because the transition isn't simply making our electricity renewable, but to phase out fuel / gas / diesel by replacing it with electricity. And no, the grid ain't quite ready for that. Not even close.

We'll sure, but renewables are nowhere near ready to power the grid.
