Interesting read, thanks for putting it together.

What is the data source for the map showing potential renewable energy production? It shows some areas in windy northern Germany with very low potential while they already produce more electricity than they use.

Regards,

Jan

Check out this report: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC135612

The map in the story was not put together by me (I link to the source). The authors appear to have combined data on both solar and wind potential.
