I’m no expert, but I can’t see the economics of a stand alone (unconnected to the grid) solar/battery arrangement. The amount of battery redundancy required to guarantee three four or five days of continuous supply to an aluminium smelter would be utterly phenomenal.

Surely, they can tap into the grid when the weather isn’t cooperating. It simply makes economic sense.

I agree on the sense of maintaining the link to the grid. everything needs backup.

I don't think I've seen you post on nuclear. where do you see that contentious tech?
