This is pure sentiment what you are saying now.
Not everyone seems to understand the real problem. You cannot store energy. You have to process it immediately. When it is sunny, there is a surplus of electricity. Given the laws of supply and demand, a large supply and a small purchase result in a particularly low energy price. He may even be negative.
(I will ignore the energy tax (12-13 cents at the moment), because Eneco has nothing to do with that)
Either way. If you supply 3kWh back at a certain time, you now get, let’s say, 13ct for it, while Eneco has to resell it on the spot market for 2-3ct.
Then you could say, then Eneco sells that cheap electricity at a higher price to customers who do not have panels? In principle they will do that. But if you supply 3kWh, all your neighbors will do the same. Not every household needs 3kWh at all those times. Either way. They’re going to have to sell it on the spot market anyway.
Then there is also a factor of “other current”. Eneco ‘must’ deliver. They purchase that electricity months in advance from large power stations. “I want this much kWh in three months.” The power factory will then put it on the grid at a certain rate for Eneco. This then happens to all energy sellers and all power factories.
Now comes the problem. Do you know what the weather will be like in 6 months?
Eneco knows exactly how much electricity its customers will use at any given time (broadly speaking). They will therefore purchase (approximately?) 80% of this at favorable rates from different power stations.
The spot market is for the remaining 20%. There you can buy and sell electricity ‘ad hoc’ (one day in advance). One day it is a bit cheaper, the next day it is a bit more expensive. Law of large numbers and so on.
When the weather turns bad (cloudy and windless), the electricity on the spot market is very high (up to 20-30 cents per kWh with outliers (remember, you only paid 13 cents to Eneco)). If the weather is great (sunny and strong wind), the current is not worth anything (-5 – 3ct) (minus 5 to plus 3). (but you do get 13 cents).
The stream farmers ‘must’ compensate for this risk. They can ‘or’ do this by greatly increasing their fixed rates. This is very much to the detriment of their customers without panels. Or they will do what is happening now.
Now those solar parks:
The above in mind. It is indeed true that solar parks increase the difference between expensive electricity and cheap electricity. (they contribute to too much and too little power on the grid). However: Producing solar power is super cheap. Much cheaper than burning coal, gas or isotopes. In the summer months this is detrimental to the whole. However, it is actually good in the winter months. Then they have a method to produce very cheap electricity for everyone.
