FIGURE 8. Spread of hourly wind energy generation across the EU in 2025
from wind energy across each month of 2025. In January for instance, the average (median) power output of the wind fleet was 72 GW, while we could rely on at least 36 GW most of the time (90% of all hours). There were a few instances (10% of all hours) where output exceeded 112 GW, making for one of the most productive months of the year. Over the summer period from May to August, the variation lower (shown by the lower position of the boxes). and median respectively). Output for 90% of the hours exceeded 23 GW, and for 10% of the hours, it was 53 GW or Wind energy production is variable, and the hourly variability greater variability of generation in the winter months. Over 90% of the time, wind generation is more than this ("P90") more common in Europe, wind energy generation tends to
