I'm very happy to read this news but I wonder how realistic it is. Friday was quite warm and sunny, unusually so for this time of year. Now its back to wind, rain and clouds and I guess, not so much energy production. But still, its good to see that the Germans have the capacity. Statistics do show that Germany made a huge push to install extra capacity in comparison in recent years in comparison to other countries. Nicely done.
