Four out of five days bring in less than the fifth:

  • The four wind turbines generate as much electricity on one out of five days as the power of 9000 horses around the clock. That are 2.4 cubic metres beech wood per hour.
  • The turbines bring in as much electricity on the remaining four days equivalent to the power of 1600 horses around the clock. That are 0.4 cubic metres beech wood per hour.

Can one transfer this to Germany as a whole?

Let’s consider the daily wind electricity production for Germany for 2016.
