Over-reliance on wind and sun\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citing\u00a0montelnews<\/a>,\u00a0Blackout News here reports<\/a>\u00a0on the recent wind power slump experienced in Germany \u2013 due to stagnant weather conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This winter\u2019s energy supply for Germany looks bleak as experts warn of windless, sunless days ahead. Image: P. Gosselin\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wind power generation, dropped to its lowest level since 2014 and oil power generation increased to its highest level in four weeks, reaching 700 MW.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind lull highlights the vulnerabilities posed by relying too much on wind and solar energy, especially in the wintertime when Germany sees very little sunshine while occasionally getting periods of little wind in times of high energy demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electricity prices soared to 800 EUR\/MWh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lack of wind power last week led to a tighter energy market in Europe, particularly in central and northern regions and caused a surge in electricity prices, especially in short-term markets. Prices reached a two-year high, exceeding 800 EUR\/MWh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, there\u2019s growing concern about the potential for similar price spikes in winter if wind conditions remain weak. Germany\u2019s economy has been battered for years by its dubious energy policies adopted by its previous governments over the past 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear of supply bottlenecks <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts warn that wind power production is expected to be very low in the coming months, thus posing a threat of energy supply bottlenecks. As temperatures fall, energy demand, especially in France, is expected to rise significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France can help only so much<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

France\u2019s nuclear capacity can\u2019t fully compensate for low wind power due to dependence on weather conditions. Germany has reduced its conventional power generation capacity by shutting down coal and nuclear plants and relies heavily on weather dependent power generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implication for the coming winter is that Germany\u2019s energy market faces a difficult period due to the combination of low supply and potentially high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a risk of energy shortages and rising prices in the coming months<\/p>\n\n\n\n
