Highlights The production of electricity from renewables does not match the demand. At renewable penetrations greater than 25–30% energy storage is necessary. Energy storage becomes a limitation to the further development of renewables. Less storage is needed for the substitution of coal with wind and solar energy. Significant storage is required for the substitution of all fossil fuel plants. [pdf]
