To date, one of the lower hanging fruit within this transition has been the decarbonization of the electricity sector. This has been made possible by a rapid decline in the cost of variable renewable energy (i.e. solar PV and wind energy) which is now the cheapest form of new build electricity generation in a number of states globally. However, although material, the electricity sector represents only one of a number of pieces in the decarbonization puzzle. Further, the rapidly increasing proportion of solar and wind in energy systems around the globe is also bringing with it a new set of electricity network reliability and stability challenges that need to be overcome.
