Germany Sees Record Curtailment of Solar and Wind in First Half
Germany curtailed a record amount of solar and wind power in the first half of the year as grid constraints and insufficient battery storage prevented it from taking full advantage of fresh capacity.
About 8% of solar energy was deliberately cut in the period, more than double the amount a year earlier, according to data provider LSEG. Wind power was reduced by 5.3%.
