These remote Scottish islands make too much clean power, now what? | CNN Business这些偏远的苏格兰岛屿生产了过剩的清洁能源,现在该怎么办? | CNN商业频道
On many days of the year, northern Scotland will be running on entirely renewable electricity. Powered by some of Europe’s strongest winds and tides, the region could produce even more clean energy - but much of it has nowhere to go. CNN travels to the Orkney Islands to see how this remote archipelago is not just leading the way in generating clean electricity, but has become a living lab for one of the biggest challenges of the energy transition: what to do with too much power.

The Orkney Islands often generate 100% of their electricity needs from powerful winds and some of Europe’s strongest tides. But their success has created a new problem: what to do with too much power. Ahead of Global Perspectives in Doha, CNN explores how these islands have become a living lab for a carbon-free future.
