Black Outs Ahead

Just for reference, wind is currently 10.45% of our 26.81 GW grid demand which is relatively low on a Saturday morning.

Solar PV? A bit better at 19%. Of course that wasn’t the case during the night when our grid still needed 20 GW and wind provided 1 of those.


Across Europe wind was 6.5% of demand, with all but the 0.5 % being generated offshore.


And this is what we will engineer our energy grid to rely on?


Heaven help us!
