With the change over to renewable electricity we are getting too much electricity
Hopefully in the long term it will lead to cheaper power. Plug in your electric car now 
the benefits of having a big country with a small population. I’m guessing it can be stored?
Did you mean ‘Stored’ or ‘Sorted’ Annie?
stored for use later

Storage of electricity is in it’s infancy Annie, and relies on huge lithium battery storage facilities that are pathetically poor, and very expensive and dangerous.
They are proposing the building of one here near me, it will be the biggest such facility in the UK and possibly Europe…It will store enough electricity to supply 800,000 homes…
But this figure varies whichever article you read, and in the info we received, it stated that the supply to 800,000 homes would be for 1 hour…
That’s assuming the wind and sun have been kind and fully charged the facility.
