Our grid is obsolete too, it has come so far that because of added wind turbine capacity, some lines are at max load and solar panels owners connected to that same main line can't sell their surplus production anymore.
Also, I'm not against renewables, far from it, but policy makers here seem to consider them the holy grail, disregarding their drawbacks. The only viable option in my opinion is nuclear, together with (as much as possible) renewables. But nooo, the (proposed) approach of the green party here, believe it or not, was to add natural gas powered plants, as a 'temporary' measure untill we go "100% renewable" (Ha! Bollocks...). They thought one plant would be enough, and that it wouldn't need to run all the time. More realistic calculations made it clear that we would need 2 - 3 running constantly.
The (obviously very regrettable) war in the Ukraine made them change their stance though... Seems like some people need to be 'slapped in the face' with reality before they understand what others see coming from miles away. Sad that said people run this country.
