Unverified50% confidenceSolutionExact time
During periods of surplus renewable energy, increasing electricity consumption may absorb wind or solar power that would otherwise be curtailed, at which point the marginal carbon intensity can approach zero or even be negative.

UnverifiedERCOT wholesale electricity prices frequently go negative during periods of abundant wind power, indirectly reflecting the ample supply of low-carbon electricity.75% similarUnverifiedIn grids dominated by coal power, the indirect carbon emissions of induction cooktops may be comparable to the direct emissions of gas stoves, but the carbon footprint of electric stoves continues to decline as the share of renewable energy increases.75% similarUnverified过度依赖单一或少数几种可再生能源会削弱整个能源系统的韧性，多元协同组合才能构建稳健低碳能源体系73% similarUnverifiedMarginal carbon intensity reflects the additional emissions triggered by the generating units activated by incremental electricity consumption, and is more instructive for users who wish to reduce emissions by shifting loads.70% similarUnverifiedThe carbon emission intensity of coal-fired power generation is approximately 800–1000 gCO₂/kWh, combined-cycle gas is approximately 350–450 gCO₂/kWh, and wind and solar are nearly zero during the operational phase.68% similar
