POWER
German fossil-fuel output for power generation is recovering today to the highest since 17-18 May, after high renewables output and low demand have weighed on fossil-fuel output in the past days, Entso-E data showed.
- German intraday actual gas-fired generation today rose to 5.44GW as of this afternoon, the highest since 18 May.
- Hard-coal fired generation is also recovering to the highest since 18 May at 1.89GW as of this afternoon.
- German lignite-fired generation peaked at 6.8GW on Tuesday morning, the highest since 17 April.
- German actual power load peaked around 61.43GW so far today – the highest since 17 May.
- Current forecasts suggested German wind output to ease back from later this week which is likely support German fossil-fuel burn.
- Germany: Wind for 22-28 May: 15.92GW (-1.92GW), 6.59GW (-980MW), 2.74GW (+758MW), 3.25GW (+218MW), 1.85GW (unchanged), 2.24GW (unchanged), 4.96GW (unchanged)
- Germany: Solar for 22-28 May: 7.89GW (-1.99GW), 12.77GW (+149MW), 8.64GW (-832MW), 9.41GW (-135MW), 11.16GW (+333MW), 11.59GW (-420MW), 11.86GW (-431MW).
