A ''Dunkelflaute'' or ''dark wind lull'' is a period of low wind speeds that greatly curtail wind farm generation. And Germany''s main wind farm areas have suffered from an extended lull since October, which is when wind generation largely held flat at around 10 TWh instead of climbing steadily on the usually brisk autumn winds.
