For example, a well-planned mix of PV, wind, and hydropower can mitigate seasonal fluctuations: PV generates more electricity in summer, while wind generates more in winter," says Demet Suna (AIT) [...] Simultaneously, climate change affects the output of renewable energy sources. The number of sun and wind hours in specific regions is changing, and even hydropower generation is heavily impacted by climate [...] transitioning the energy system is complex and requires substantial investments, ranging from expanding wind and photovoltaic capacity to enhancing power grids.
