W.E.B production result for July 2024

Mix of heat and storms with low wind levels - monthly production below plan

At 89,362 MWh total monthly production was well below the planned target.

July was characterized by high temperatures and extreme drought in some areas. In western and north-western Europe, areas of low pressure caused changeable weather, while the Alpine region fluctuated between heat and thunderstorms. As a result, Austria, Germany, France, the Czech Republic and Italy were unable to reach their target values. The weather on the east coast of the USA and Canada was also strongly influenced by high pressure, which is why the target was not exceeded there either.

In the PV segment, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic and the USA closed with positive results. Italy was the only country to fall just short of its target.

The hydropower segment closed below plan.
