German Offshore Wind Farms Face "Wind Theft", Impacting Energy Yield

Wind theft" in German offshore wind farms reduces energy yield by up to 30 kilometers in the turbines' wake, impacting overall farm efficiency due to high-density installations (8-10 megawatts per square kilometer), unlike Denmark (4-5 megawatts); mitigation strategies offer limited improvements.

What are the differences in wind farm design and density between Germany and Denmark, and how do these differences contribute to the varying impacts of wind theft?

High-density wind farm installations in German waters (8-10 megawatts per square kilometer) exacerbate wind theft, unlike Denmark's approach (4-5 megawatts). This results in decreased wind speeds and energy generation, with projections of a 40% yield reduction for a 70-gigawatt installation in the German Bight.

Storms Cause Drop in Spain's Solar Power Generation

Spain's photovoltaic solar power generation fell to 10.7% of the total electricity produced in March 2025, a drop of almost 3 percentage points compared to March 2024, due to a series of storms affecting the Iberian Peninsula; this is the first such decrease since 2022 despite significant rainfall.

What are the long-term implications of this temporary decrease for Spain's transition to solar energy and its overall energy mix?

Despite the recent setback, Spain's photovoltaic solar power generation is expected to continue its upward trend. The decrease is likely temporary, influenced by unusual weather conditions. As solar capacity continues to expand, it will likely regain its position as a leading electricity source during the summer months, when solar irradiance is higher.
