Wind Energy Production During May 2015

This graph depicts performance of wind farms connected to the electricity grid in south-eastern Australia over a month.

The default, capacity factor graph shows the output as a percentage of registered capacity. On average wind farms in south-east Australia operate at a capacity factor of around 30-35%.

Alternatively, you may view the actual output in megawatts.

Different wind farms may be included or excluded from the graphs by toggling the check boxes. The total will update accordingly.

Data for the month-long graphs is sampled at 3 hour intervals to reduce the number of data points.
