Right now, wind meets 25% of the Spanish mainland demand: 10,100 MW generated by wind power while demand is 41,536 MW.

Also last night: around 6GW generated for a demand of 26GW.

wind production nicely followed actual demand this morning...

10.1GW was the eastimate. The real production was just about 9GW. So a 1GW discrepancy between prediction and reality.

The only question is whether that estimate was fined tuned in the hour before each timewindow (as is usually possible) and whether the estimate shown is the one done a day before, or the fine-tuned one. I would expect it to be the day-ahead one, but maybe not.

(or am I missing something from the definition of estimate and "telemetered" production?)

Nope. The 9GW is the metered production, the 10.1GW estimate includes unmetered capacity. That's pretty good -- back when I first bookmarked this link years ago, the metered part was barely above 50% of the total capacity.

ok, thanks! Good to know.

I mean: telemetered means that outgoing electricity metered at the wind farms is beamed to REE in real-time.
