RENEWABLES: German Wind Output Forecast Comparison
See the latest German wind output forecast for base-load hours from SpotRenewables vs Bloomberg’s ECMWF and GFS models for the next seven days as of Friday afternoon.
- SpotRenewables and the German GFS model forecast similar wind generation levels on 12 December and 14 December. Meanwhile, SpotRenewables and the ECMWF models are comparable but deviations for all days are above 1GW.
- The largest deviation is noted when comparing the ECMWF model and SpotRenewables on 14 December at 31.4GW, with large deviations between GFS and SpotRenewables on 10 December at 13.2GW.
Despite these differences, all three models forecast wind output to be relatively volatile throughout the forecast period – which could lead to price swings on the German spot market.
