Add in the necessary upgrade in the actual grid itself. Ie, "the wires", not just the various turbines etc feeding electricity into it.

Industry pointed out few years ago that just switching to electric cars required a MINIMUM upgrade to the infrastructure of trebling its capacity.

Bear in mind a major part of your huge increases in electricity bills is not just covering the increased cost of "renewables" (most of the actual direct cost is hidden in your taxes -- check out some wind/solar originators' financial models for some serious eyebrow-raising while learning about hidden subsidies) but paying for the grid extensions and local upgrades.

These are huge in cost, but relatively slight by comparison.
