Fierce Winds In Europe Generate Energy Surpluses
From the Weather Channel
The wind has been fierce in Europe over the past several days. So fierce, in fact, that it has generated record-breaking energy surpluses that even caused wholesale market prices to dip into the negative.
According to BBC.com, the United Kingdom is home to the world’s largest wind farm with the largest turbines and for the first time in history, renewables generated more than half of Britain’s energy demand on Wednesday. It also brought the market price of electricity into the negative when the surplus of energy caused producers to flood the marketplace.
