Wind power generation forecast
Wind energy and expected load factor
Here above you will access information on wind energy forecast for the French grid :
- Reference forecast : generation forecasted available since 6:00 PM for the complete day ahead.
- Intraday forecast : RTE provides an update for forecasted wind power generation per time unit.
NB : forecasted power data are completed by the forecasted load factor for the French wind energy sector. This index is calculated as a rate between forecasted generation and total wind power installed capacity.
