FRANCE: On 11 November, wind power covered 5% of the electricity needs of France for the day, setting a new record. Strong winds over the whole country pushed this up to a peak of 7% at one point during the night, when the power output reached 3885MW, according to data provided by the grid operator RTE."The turbines were operating at over 70% of their total power", says the Renewable Energy Syndicate (SER), a trade association. SER notes the electricity generated represents "nearly twice the average consumption of a city such as Paris."
