It basicly shows that renewables are able to produce more power then electricity demand at times. That means more electricity storage, flexible demand and a better grid is needed to use the currently wasted electricity. Especially the flexible demand is something a lot of other green technologies provide, like for example heat pumps having kind of built in storage with a hot water tank and evs have batteries anyway.
Basicly good news, but a long way to go.
Still, finally. Some actual good news. As little as it may be, it's something. That better than what we see most days.
