Lauri Myllyvirta @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When we attribute the "missing" generation to solar and wind, we find that solar and wind generation in August was around 280 TWh, instead of the reported 140 TWh. And the year-on-year increase was 37 TWh instead of the reported 12 TWh. 130
Lauri Myllyvirta @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wind and solar made up 26% of total power generation in August, up from 23% last year, and the total clean (non-fossil) share was 44%, up from 42% last year. 150
Lauri Myllyvirta @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The implied 16% increase in wind and solar generation in August is close to the 16% increase in solar and 20% increase in wind power capacity compared with the same time last year, indicating that the problem of wasted wind and solar eased. 140
