A prolonged period of cloudy and windless weather can throttle Europe's solar and wind generations, often causing the grid to rely on polluting back-up sources.
Europe risks entering a prolonged period of reduced solar and wind energy production due to cloudy weather and lack of wind, which could lead to higher prices and greater dependence on polluting sources.
Europe risks entering a prolonged period of low solar and wind power production, due to the cloudy weather and the lack of wind. The phenomenon can lead to higher prices and greater dependence on polluting sources.
