However, the long-term impacts of anthropogenic warming on wind resources, particularly their seasonal variations and potential compounding risks, remain understudied. Here we analyze large-ensemble climate simulations in high-emission scenarios to assess the projected changes in near-surface wind speed and their broader implications. Our analyses show robust wind changes including a decrease of wind speed (i.e. stilling) up to \u223c15% during the summer months in Northern Midlatitudes. This stilling is linked to amplified warming of the midlatitude land and the overlying troposphere. Despite regional and model uncertainties, robust signals of warming-induced wind stilling will likely emerge from natural climate variations in the late 21st century under the high-emission scenarios. Importantly, the summertime wind stilling coincides with a projected surge in cooling demand, and their compounding may disrupt the energy supply-demand balance earlier. These findings highlight the importance of considering the seasonal responses of wind resources and the associated climate-energy risks in a warming climate. By integrating these insights into future energy planning decisions, we can better adapt to a changing climate and ensure a reliable and resilient energy future.Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/388710476_Amplified_summer_wind_stilling_and_land_warming_compound_energy_risks_in_Northern_Midlatitudes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/388710476_Amplified_summer_wind_stilling_and_land_warming_compound_energy_risks_in_Northern_Midlatitudes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">German consumers in particular had a rough ride the last few months;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lower Wind Generation in Germany Raises European Power Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/contributors\/Tsvetana-Paraskova\">Tsvetana Paraskova<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 Jan 29, 2025, 4:45 AM CST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German predicament, where wind speeds have been below average for extended periods of time since October 2024, is affecting regional prices as Germany\u2019s utilities are also raising electricity imports from neighboring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany\u2019s wind power output fell by 16% in the first 28 days of January from the same period a year earlier, per data from LSEG&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/germanys-weak-winds-stoke-europe-wide-power-market-worries-maguire-2025-01-29\/\">cited<\/a>&nbsp;by Reuters columnist Gavin Maguire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, Germany\u2019s power producers have boosted fossil fuel generation, with coal and natural gas power plants raising their electricity output by 4.5% so far in January from a year earlier, according to LSEG data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of last year, Germany\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Latest-Energy-News\/World-News\/Germanys-Power-Prices-Rise-as-Market-Tightens.html\">power prices spiked<\/a>&nbsp;as the so-called power margin, the available electricity supply to meet demand, sunk as low wind speeds and colder weather were straining the power system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Read more:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Latest-Energy-News\/World-News\/Lower-Wind-Generation-in-Germany-Raises-European-Power-Prices.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Latest-Energy-News\/World-News\/Lower-Wind-Generation-in-Germany-Raises-European-Power-Prices.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My question \u2013 does this mean we can get rid of wind turbines and the motivation to build those horrible turbine eyesores by burning more coal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who knew the Germans still have coal plants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, we must preserve the extreme weather narrative, so let\u2019s assume that when wind does happen, the resulting tornadoes and hailstorms will smash all the solar panels.
