🔎 Preventing future electricity blackouts requires thorough analysis 💭 Will policymakers be able to drop the rhetoric and learn the lessons needed to sustainably and efficiently reduce the risk of future blackouts? 🔗 First Glance by @gzachmann.bsky.social buff.ly/EG6o82i #EconSky

Very low capacity factors of onshore and offshore wind in Germany in the first four month of 2025 (20% below the lowest value in the past decade). According to @marcowuensch.bsky.social increasing capacities, and good solar capacity factors helped - but a development worth monitoring.

It seems that much public debate on the Iberian blackout is still illustrated by a figure that is most probably wrong [see @lionhirth.bsky.social post: www.linkedin.com/posts/lionhi... ]. For properly monitoring energy security we need reliable data. Join us Thu: www.bruegel.org/event/europe...

Compared to the single price zone, splitting Germany in five zones will lead electricity wholesale prices to -increase in the South by <3% and in the West by <1% -decrease in the North by > 10-16% As network cost will also drop, impact on electricity cost in the South/West should be rather marginal.

My colleagues updated their RU trade data. -Out of the 38 export destinations monitored, the share of China (~40%) continues to rise. -for this sample, the mineral fuels share in RU exports exceeds two thirds. How much hysteresis will the RU non-fossil export industry experience after years of war?
