What happened here is so typical of politicians and green type organizations, they just do not listen to the engineering expertise that operate and build our power systems. These countries like many others replaced their base load generation with renewables, 70% capacity in this incident, and now they are realizing they have no battery capacity to handle the cyclic nature of these systems, how dumb is that total blackouts across two countries. ATC batteries are now sitting in a perfect position because of this outcome. The Germans are well positioned to answer the call, our batteries are cheaper than the Lithium rubbish, more stable and have a service life of 16 to 20 years, Lithium best for 8 years and they are ready to go.

You are correct with what you say but I believe that ATC's problems lay with management. Not the technology or demand.
