Yesterday, wind produced 23% of all Europe’s electricity.
In Ireland, Germany, and Denmark, its share was over 50%!

European windpower already delivered over 80 GW at midnight, it peaked at 87.3 GW around 5 am, then gently slid down to 66.5 GW by the end of the evening.
Solar PV power production in Europe followed a traditional bell pattern yesterday, peaking around 57 GW, well before noon (due to cloudier weather moving into the continent?).
And this was Europe’s overall electricity mix yesterday: Baseload production by nuclear power, with a bit of biomass/waste and coal.
The top half is all renewables, with hydropower ramping up in the evening peak, after the sun went down. And some gas in the middle.
