Power output from thousands of wind turbines in the Nordics rose to a record as storm Ingunn batters the western part of the region with hurricane-strength gusts.
Wind generation exceeded 29 gigawatts on Wednesday evening, beating the previous record from earlier in the month, according to data from European grid group Entsoe. Red and amber warnings for high wind remain in place for the northern part of the region, according to Meteoalarm.
