Check out our 72h view 🗺️! Perfect for tracking Europe's wind recovery.

While a dunkelflaute is rare, the data shows how quickly renewables bounce back. Here's how the German grid transformed:
Wind: 66.82% of demand
Carbon: 592→227 g/kWh
Price: €936→€13.96/MWh
Exports: 11.36GW
Hydro Storage: 2.78GW

A major dunkelflaute hit Europe at 5pm yesterday: wind & solar generation dropped while energy prices hit €936/MWh in Denmark/Germany. A reminder of the need for load shifting, diverse energy sources and storage solutions for the winter months.
