Unfortunately, you can\u2019t rely on them during peak hours. But then homes, so if you have very good storage, then of course you can do more of the renewables. But you and I can choose to migrate. Because there are other players like Kasapreko and other industries relying on renewable solar, and it is doing very good for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have storage backup. If we are not careful, one day, if the cost incurred in using the normal grid becomes too high, a lot of people will migrate to solar and potentially wind because technology is helping that domain to reduce their cost. Government must also consider investing in that one as well, it may help us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Security (IES), Nana Amoasi VII, has urged the government to prioritize investments in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind amidst the ongoing power crisis.
