Wind Review

Wind Review is our quarterly newsletter for the wind energy industry, which takes a look at seasonal wind conditions across Europe.

Autumn Wind Review

We review how the most recent season fared compared to its long-term average, to the same season last year and compared to the previous 12 months.

We also take a closer look at specific sites within five of the 15 regions analysed, using data generated by Virtual Met Mast the Met Office's site-specific wind analysis tool.

Use Wind Review to:

  • Assess whether your wind farm's under or over performance is due to wind or other factors
  • Evaluate wind farm site performance in context based on recent wind statistics

We've released a special edition of 2011 Wind Review Wind Review (PDF, 1 MB) which looks at 2011 as a whole compared to 2010 and to the long-term average.

You can also download a Winter Wind Review 2011/2012 sample issue (PDF, 978 kB) which looks at Winter 2011/2012 season.
