Spanish term

índice de penetrabilidad

Spanish to English Science Energy / Power Generation
La concepción actual del sistema eléctrico debe atender simultáneamente al aprovechamiento de las fuentes renovables y a las necesidades de los consumidores que demandan, cada vez más, mayor calidad y sobre todo mayor seguridad de suministro. La característica fluctuante y aleatoria de las renovables, las hace inhábiles para adaptarse a la demanda y pueden generar situaciones de inestabilidad en la red. Ello limita drásticamente su **índice de penetrabilidad** pues deben ser equilibradas con un incremento en el porcentaje de fuentes energéticas convencionales, garantizadas y gestionables.

Penetration index

It refers to the extent these technologies are used so a "penetration index" could be a good translation.

usefulness

You don't need to translate "índice de". Literally it means "market penetration", but the point is that the usefulness of renewable energy is limited because it doesn't provide a reliable supply.
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : "market penetration" does not equate to "usefulness".
