W.E.B Production Results August 2024

Heat waves with weak wind conditions – Monthly production below target
Total monthly power generation in August 2024 equaled 76,163 MWh, which was considerably lower than the targeted level.

The subtropical high-pressure system which brought sunshine and heat to the Mediterranean region in the summer months continued, to a large extent, to impact Central Europe as well. Accordingly, the planned production targets in Austria, Germany, France, Czechia and Italy could not be reached. Strong high-pressure systems also dominated on the East Coast of the USA and Canada, which is why there was these countries also did not perform better than planned.

Austria, Germany and Czechia exceeded the planned production results in the photovoltaic power segment. In contrast, the weather in Italy and the USA was cloudier in August 2024, and thus the defined production targets could not be reached.

The hydroelectric power segment in Austria performed slightly below the targeted level.
