In a recent article republished in RenewEconomy, Osmundsen writes that France could reach 95 % renewables and 80-90 GW of PV, in combination with cost-efficient “Gas to Power” solutions for storage. The author refers to a new French government study shows that the cost to the French consumer of a 100% renewable scenario is more or less equal to a scenario close to today’s, with only 40% renewables. It is yet another instance of leading energy experts asserting that a 100% renewable future is possible, writes Terje Osmundsen, Senior Vice-President of Norwegian independent solar power producer Scatec Solar.
