Is the grid an obstacle to the energy transition?

“I don't know of any country where the grid is not currently some level of obstacle to the energy transition,” says Mark Hutchinson, director for Asia at the Global Wind Energy Council, the international trade association. One of the big issues, he adds, is there is “not enough grid” infrastructure to meet the needs of the changing energy system.

Why is there a lack of interest in wind power?

Worldwide, there has often been resistance to wind turbines. Japan's Trade and Economy Ministry did not respond to email requests for comment. South Korea's Energy Agency could not be reached for comment. More broadly, the tumbling price of solar power may help explain the comparative lack of interest in wind, said Reilly.
