In the week of June 8, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production increased across most major European electricity markets compared with the previous week. The French market recorded the largest rise of 8.8%, followed by Italy with a 4.7% increase. Portugal saw only a modest gain of 0.9%, marking the smallest growth among the markets analyzed.
In contrast, solar generation declined in both Germany and Spain, extending a second consecutive week of decreases in these two key markets. Germany experienced the steepest drop of 10%, while Spain registered a more moderate 2.7% decline, reflecting weaker solar output conditions compared with the previous week.
Looking ahead to the week of June 15, AleaSoft Energy Forecasting projects an increase in solar energy production in the Italian, German, and Spanish markets, suggesting a potential recovery in generation levels after the recent downturn.
During the second week of June, wind energy production rose in most major European electricity markets. Germany recorded the largest increase of 32%, marking its third consecutive week of growth. Italy saw a 10% rise, while Spain registered a 15% increase, maintaining an upward trend for the second week in a row.
By contrast, wind output declined in Portugal and France. The Portuguese market experienced a 7.2% decrease, while France recorded a sharper 27% drop, highlighting significant regional variability in wind conditions.
For the third week of June, AleaSoft Energy Forecasting forecasts a decline in wind energy production across all analyzed European markets, indicating a potential shift toward weaker wind generation conditions across the continent, AleaSoft reports.
