What is hybrid energy?


Hybrid energy refers to the integration of two or more different energy sources—typically renewable and non-renewable—to generate electricity or power systems more efficiently and sustainably.


Is hybrid energy renewable?

Hybrid energy is not always fully renewable—it depends on the sources combined.


Types of Hybrid Energy Systems:

  1. Fully Renewable Hybrid:
    Combines two or more renewable sources (e.g., solar + wind).
    This is renewable energy.

  2. Mixed Hybrid:
    Combines a renewable source with a non-renewable source, like:

    • Solar + diesel generator

    • Wind + gas turbine
      This is not fully renewable but is often cleaner and more efficient than using fossil fuels alone.
