We have that in Sweden. The problem is distributing it. Most energy in Sweden is produced up north, but the infrastructure to transfer it south is lacking which (especially this winter) is resulting in ridiculously uneven kW/h prices in our country.

Just to clarify. This is pretty much all hydro and not wind, big wind parks in northern Sweden will be built though.
But building put transfer capacity is a known quantity.

I would think energy storage is harder to solve than building more transfer capacity?
