• Index represents the averaged hourly utilization of the installed capacity in a supply region, e.g. a windy day at 80% utilization translates into an index value of 80,00€.
• Countrywide index is spatially weighted out of installed capacities in % at reference locations, e.g. center of German federal states.
• Spatial weightings are yearly reviewed according to installed capacity data published by Bundesnetzagentur. A full documentation also on the update procedure can be found here
