Germany braces for winter price surges amid low wind output

Germany is set to face wild power price swings this winter. There's one thing that Germans fear more than their currently faltering government and that's the so-called Dunkelflaute – when it's cold, dark and there's no wind. Given that Germany phased out nuclear last year and is scaling down its coal-fired power use, low wind generation this winter could send energy prices soaring and really put the market to the test.
