Please tell that to the Ontario government so they can stop paying other provinces and the US to take our excess power. That is entirely the problem. The Ontario grid has no way of storing any energy generated by wind or solar. If they generate too much they have to find ways of getting rid of it, or by paying wind turbine owners to idle their turbines. If their system could store it we probably wouldn't be in such a mess.

In fact I haven't heard any plans from the government on if they're even looking into implementing storage methods. At this point they're just happy to continue increasing our rates to pay for their broken system.
