New data in the UK shows that variations in wind energy production may reach two orders of magnitude

Since March 1, 2022, I have been watching variations in wind energy production in the UK based on the observations published here. My previous estimate of the variation amplitude was a factor of 30. Today I found that wind may fall even lower as the figure below shows. The current level is 0.311 GW while a few weeks ago it was around 20 GW. It would not be an exaggeration to assume that the range of wind energy variation is around two orders of magnitude.  The previous week was very poor for the UK wind energy generation and during the previous 48 h renewables (including imported from Norway) gave only 14.5%.
