Diversify, store and adjust demand.

Diversifying means getting energy from different sources like wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and from different regions as there wind always blows somewhere. This is a major strength of the European grid.

Storage mainly happens in pumped hydro, but for short term storage you can also use batteries and flywheels.

On the demand side, energy intensive industry like steel can draw its energy when there is an glut of energy causing lower prices.
