Release time:2022-06-27Author: Shi Xunpeng

In recent months, the world's oil and gas prices have remained high. Under the intensifying European energy crisis, some European countries have begun to consider restarting coal-fired power plants.


This article uses the case of the change of energy policy in Germany and the experience of energy crisis in Australia to remind everyone that when discussing the cost advantages of renewable energy, in addition to the cost of electricity generation, it is also necessary to consider the system cost of renewable energy to provide a reliable power supply. Sustainable energy transition should not be entangled in the gains and losses of the moment, but should be carried out pragmatically, orderly and flexibly on the premise of putting people first and ensuring the security of people's livelihood and supply.
