A major surplus in solar power in Spain has caused the value of solar parks to plummet, with investors looking to jump ship.
As the Trump administration continues to debilitate the United States’ path to green power, other parts of the world are all-in on renewable energy.
In fact, some countries have ramped up green energy generation so much that prices are dropping precipitously — and venture capitalists are unhappy as their margins take a big hit.
As Bloomberg reports, investors, utilities, and banks have invested over $80 billion in renewable energy in Spain. As a result, a major surplus in electricity has caused the value of solar parks to plummet, with investors looking to jump ship.
Spain even experienced negative energy prices last summer, an unusual but increasingly common phenomenon that turns the economics of green energy on their head. This year is no different, with the country already exceeding its annual record for the time producers end up paying customers to take on all that excess energy in the first six months.
While most Americans can only dream of that kind of scenario, California notwithstanding, negative energy prices can have ripple effects, slowing down the adoption of renewable energy — a regrettable misalignment between financial pressure and the shared goal of addressing a growing climate crisis.
“The economics have deteriorated so sharply that investors are trying to exit at steep discounts,” Spanish utility L’Energètica head Daniel Pérez told Bloomberg.
At least four solar parks have been put up for sale in the country, with owners getting lowball offers from potential buyers. Meanwhile, short sellers are looking to bet on their demise, adding to the industry’s woes.
One persistent problem is the lack of energy storage for all of that renewable power, with solar energy utilities making steep investments in battery facilities that can stockpile electricity during the day when there’s an excess of solar generation, saving it for nighttime or when the skies are cloudy.
Another pain point is the national grid, which has to quickly adapt to fluctuating rates of solar power generation, according to Bloomberg. The government is now scrambling to keep investors happy by promising grid upgrades and financial support for battery storage.
In short, on the surface, a glut of renewable energy sounds like an excellent problem to have. Residents in Spain enjoy some of the cheapest electricity rates in Europe. Yet a venture capitalist system hellbent on squeezing as much profit out of clean electricity as possible isn’t looking like a viable solution in the long term.
a really clear example of how sometimes technological development will outgrow the current socio-economic model, necessitating a shift to a new model.
The difference between derivatives and integrals is like the difference between solving a sudoku and solving a riddle from a fairy guarding a treasure who is bound by fairy law to make it technically solvable, but if you do manage to solve their riddle their boss will actually kill them, and even if you get the right answer they won't let you through unless you remember to add + C at the end

“It’s summer now, and you’re craving a simpler existence. You want to read. You want to write. You want to meet strangers for dinner, and not refuse another drink at another bar. You want to dance. You want to find yourself in a basement, neck loose, bobbing your head as a group of musicians play, not because they should, but because they must. It’s summer now, and you’re looking forward to worrying less. You’re looking forward to longer nights and shorter days. You’re looking forward to gathering in back gardens and watching meat sputter on an open barbecue. You’re looking forward to laughing so hard your chest hurts and you feel light-headed. You’re looking forward to the safety in pleasure. You’re looking forward to forgetting, albeit briefly, the existential dread which plagues you, which tightens your chest, which pains your left side. You’re looking forward to forgetting that, leaving the house, you might not return intact. You’re looking forward to freedom, even if it is short, even if it might not last. You’re looking forward.”

Fountain of Light was originally designed to float on the Albert Dock in Liverpool - click here for pictures! Its unusual form is based on Vladimir Tatlin’s plans for the Monument to the Third International, though the original construction was never actually built.

“Maybe it was the smell of ripe tomatoes, or the oriole singing, or that certain slant of light on a yellow afternoon and the beans hanging thick around me. It just came to me in a wash of happiness that made me laugh out loud, startling the chickadees who were picking at the sunflowers, raining black and white hulls on the ground. I knew it with a certainty as warm and clear as the September sunshine. The land loves us back. She loves us with beans and tomatoes, with roasting ears and blackberries and birdsongs. By a shower of gifts and a heavy rain of lessons. She provides for us and teaches us to provide for ourselves. That’s what good mothers do.”
Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.
Capital invests in what is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for humanity, so our ruling class keeps ploughing investment into fossil fuels and SUVs, while we get far too little in renewables and public transit, even while the world burns around us.
We have more than enough capacity (labour, factories, technology) to address the climate crisis, but as long as capital controls investment and production we are prevented from doing it.
We are trapped by the capitalist law of value, living in a miserable shadow of the world we could have.
