It's a blip - wind generation is at a two week low. Live snapshots disguise the overall trend.

The evolution of CO2 intensity of electricity generation in Europe can be seen here: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/overview-...

It is a bit telling and depressing that while many countries in EU now have a marked date where cars with internal combustion engines will be phased out and made illegal, there are no counties that have yet to set a date where they will do the same to power plants. Even in countries where the green party is part of the government (like Sweden), they see fossil fueled power plants as a critical part of their future strategy for the energy grid.

The picture of Europe is unlikely to change much. The predictions I hear is of an increase in construction of both renewables and fossil fueled power plants, and a more unstable price curve depending on weather. A lot of brown-orange that occasionally turn green when the wind is strong and quite dark when it isn't. In theory this should produce the cheapest energy, through I can't say that has been my experience so far. Relying on more energy trading depending on where energy is being produced at the moment seem to also increase transport costs, which for the end user here can be around 50% of the total price.
