Renewable energy solves many problems: But the grids are at their limit and storage options are limited. The question remains: who will pay for the urgently needed expansion of the infrastructure?

Green electricity is the solution to the energy transition - but one with many contradictions. For example, significantly more solar and wind energy is produced during the day than in the evening, while consumption is exactly the opposite. An imbalance that also occurs throughout the year between summer and winter.
