Europe faces a prolonged period of low solar and wind energy production due to overcast weather and weak winds, potentially leading to higher energy prices and increased reliance on polluting sources. The phenomenon known as "Dunkelflaute" typically occurs in Northern Europe during winter months, coinciding with higher energy demand for heating. Recent data shows a significant drop in solar energy contribution, from 25.4% in June to 13.2% in October. Households with solar panels are experiencing reduced energy production, forcing them to rely more on the grid. Meanwhile, hydroelectric energy production has increased, balancing some of the losses from solar energy.
