As an expansion of grid interconnectors is an important option for coping with the variability of wind and solar power supply 48, we here account explicitly for the dependence of transmissions grid requirements on the generation share of wind and solar (see Methods). However, we find that the land occupation attributable to additional grid requirements for wind
