Hardly any sun and wind: Belgium is at “Dunkelflaute” and that’s bad news for electricity prices (and therefore for our wallet)

A Dunkelflaute? The word doesn’t come from it by accident German (dark before dark and lull for fainting, in this case lack of wind). Although it is quite cold, there has been almost no wind for days and the sun is almost invisible. Our electricity is entirely supplied by nuclear power plants and gas-fired plants are also fully operational. This situation will continue for several days. Until this weekend there is no wind in sight, and not much sun either.
