Continental or local? 100% renewable electricity supply in Europe can be both. But cost and especially required infrastructure differ.

With @JLilliestam @SteMarelli @stefpf @IASS_Potsdam @ETH.

HIGHLIGHTS BELOW👇
Larger is certainly cheaper: continental supply, which uses only the best resources all over Europe, leads to lowest cost. But it concentrates generation infrastructure (💨and☀️), requires a powerful transmission grid, and creates import dependencies. Image
Local supply in ~500 European regions distributes generation infrastructure equally and requires less than half the transmission capacity but 50% more generation capacity in total. This is because 💨 and ☀️ have varying quality in the regions.
