What are the long-term implications of Germany's solar energy expansion for its energy policy and national grid infrastructure?

While Germany invests billions in upgrading its power grid to handle the influx of renewable energy, temporary adjustments like reducing energy input from wind and solar farms remain necessary. These adjustments, although costly (around .8 billion Euros in 2024), are decreasing due to lower fuel prices and reduced intervention. The geographical imbalance between energy production in the North and consumption in the South creates additional grid management complexities.
