Pumped storage power plants, green hydrogen, battery storage - they absorb the green electricity that is not immediately used. But the expansion of storage is progressing slowly. A lack of electricity storage could soon become an obstacle to Robert Habeck's great energy transition. Because when the sun is shining and there is a lot of wind at the same time, wind turbines and solar fields already have to be throttled back. On calm winter nights, on the other hand, there is a shortage of electricity - the notorious dark doldrums. Energy managers fear that without storage, Germany could miss an important building block of the energy transition. Are hydrogen, large battery storage systems or pumped storage power plants the solution? You may find the answer in this documentary - including questions about the possibilities for energy storage in private households. Film tip: Germany wants to get out: No coal. No gas. No nuclear power. Instead, we want to quickly rely entirely on renewable energies. Is there a risk of a major power blackout? https://kurz.zdf.de/LuyY/ ----- Here on ZDFheute News you can find out what is happening in the world and what concerns us all: We provide insight into the world of news, explain the background and address social debates.
