Overview
- Grid operators project very high wind and solar feed-in on Sunday but expect the levels to remain within controllable limits.
- Bundesnetzagentur president Klaus Müller affirms that under current weather and consumption forecasts the risk of power outages can be excluded with high certainty.
- Reduced industrial activity over the Pfingsten holiday means lower electricity demand, easing the challenge of balancing supply and consumption.
- Wind turbines can be fully curtailed in case of overload threats, whereas photovoltaic arrays pose greater controllability constraints for grid managers.
- Operators will deploy a suite of measures—from frequency controls to targeted shutdowns—to maintain stability during so-called Hellbrise conditions.
