W.E.B Production Results – October 2026

Windy and Sunny – Monthly Production Above Target

Total electricity generation reached 143,545 MWh, exceeding the monthly target.

October got off to an exceptionally warm start, with late-summer temperatures setting numerous new daily records during the first few days. However, the dominant high-pressure weather pattern gradually gave way to Atlantic low-pressure systems, bringing several stormy days. As a result, wind power production exceeded targets in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, France, Canada, and along the U.S. East Coast. Winds were somewhat weaker in Italy, where production fell short of target.

With sunshine hours generally above average, solar power production also exceeded targets in Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the U.S. Cloudier conditions in Germany and Italy led to production falling slightly below target.
