The Western Green Energy Hub project, located in Australia, will have an area similar to El Salvador and a total installed capacity of 70 gigawatts (GW). After obtaining environmental permission, the hub is expected to begin construction by 2029. https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-largest-renewable-project-in-the-world-seeks-permission-to-begin-construction.956931.0.html
Australia will need a flywheel similar to Ireland's Moneypoint Power Station to stabilize that amount of wind production!
What an absolute disaster.

They don't need to stabilize anything, the project is solar+wind, and extra energy is sent towards making ammonia(fertilizer). The idea is to overproduce at all times, and extra energy goes towards things not time dependent like fertilizer

I wasn't talking about storing, but about inertia for frequency stabilizing.
