@isotopp @vladh I grew up in an area of the UK very like the Netherlands and you are right we need individualised approaches.
However we also need better international cooperation. Countries like Scotland that have ample ability for schemes like Ben Cruachan should be part of a network so that areas such as the Netherlands can use 'scottish" electricity at peak times.
Better resilience all round.
Global problems require global solutions

Electricity maps is very nuclear centric, but the visualization is still useful.
The EU is one grid, and countries regularly export and import energy dynamically. That keeps power prices low across all of the EU.
Even GB is still part of that grid.
