In Ontario the chasm that seasonal storage of renewables has to bridge is huge. This is why I’m beginning to lean towards a different climate optimization for our renewable resources: smart grid loads exactly matched to renewable supply in real time. Best example of such a load I can think of is a solid oxide electrolyser. My quick analysis appears to show this is often better than dumping renewables onto a gas peaked grid.
