These low wind levels have affected electricity generation from wind power, with estimated production revenue down by 10% to 20% in almost half of the European areas analysed. Some
Customer Service
So far this year, Europe''s wind generation levels have come in well below normal due to lengthy wind droughts, which have led to a rare year-over-year drop in Europe''s total clean...

Our analyses show robust wind changes including a decrease of wind speed (i.e. stilling) up to ∼15% during the summer months in Northern Midlatitudes. This stilling is linked to amplified
Customer Service
European countries curtailed a record amount of wind power in the first nine months of the year as excess output overwhelmed infrastructure that was unable to absorb surges in the flow of...

The first half of 2025 underscored how sharply regional wind anomalies can swing renewable generation performance, from wind droughts in southern Europe and the Great Plains to stronger-than-average
Customer Service
In the summer and autumn of 2021, Europe experienced what is known as a ''wind drought'' – where wind speeds were around 15 per cent below the annual average.
