25% of the renewable energy generated this summer in Ciudad Real was lost due to grid constraints.
Producing clean energy isn’t enough — the electricity must actually reach the grid.
Professor Raquel García, from the PEARL research group at UCLM, explains it clearly in La Tribuna de Ciudad Real:
“There are solar plants operating at full capacity that are forced to stop because there’s no capacity to evacuate the energy. Installing panels isn’t enough — the grid can’t keep up.”
It is unacceptable that we produce clean energy and still lose 1 out of every 4 kWh due to infrastructure bottlenecks.
