The Renewable Paradox
The global transition to renewable energy has entered a decisive decade. Solar panels, wind turbines, and hydropower plants are sprouting across continents at a record pace. Yet, beneath this surge of optimism lies a fundamental paradox: renewable energy is abundant—but only when nature allows it to be.
Wind farms produce power for roughly 2,500 hours a year. Solar installations deliver around 1,000 hours of energy, and hydropower plants operate approximately 4,000 hours annually. Between these peaks lie long, quiet periods when production falters—especially in winter, when energy demand is at its highest.
