Germany and Luxembourg Daily Load Shape and Duck Curve by Hour, 15 October to 11 November 2026

In the 28 complete local days from 15 October to 11 November 2026, electricity demand in Germany and Luxembourg averaged 56,483 MW and typically peaked at 11:00 local time (64,248 MW) and bottomed out at 02:00 (45,337 MW). With solar and wind taken off, the remaining load fell to 26,909 MW at 02:00 and then rose 13,110 MW between 14:00 to 17:00. Hours are local clock time (Europe/Berlin).

Key Facts

  • Over 28 complete local days from 15 October to 11 November 2026, average demand in Germany and Luxembourg was 56,483 MW. The hour of the day with the highest average demand was 11:00 local time (64,248 MW) and the lowest was 02:00 (45,337 MW).

Average Day by Local Hour

28 days to 2026-11-11, Europe/Berlin time
Germany and Luxembourg average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in Germany and Luxembourg by local clock hour over 28 complete local days from 15 October to 11 November 2026. It was lowest at 02:00 (45,337 MW) and highest at 11:00 (64,248 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 28 complete local days from 15 October to 11 November 2026, weekdays and weekends together, for the hour starting at that local clock time. Net load is demand minus solar and wind generation. The single highest hour of demand in the whole 30 day window was 72,226 MW; it is a published reading, not an average, and is not part of the profile above.

Assumptions

  • Hours are local clock time in Europe/Berlin. A local day is used only if it is whole inside the 30 day window and at least 22 of its hours are complete; the profile uses the 28 most recent such days. Daylight saving follows the local clock: on a clock change day the missing hour is absent and the repeated hour is averaged over both readings.
  • The average mixes weekdays and weekends and covers only 28 days, so it describes recent conditions, not a seasonal norm.
  • The evening ramp is the largest rise over three hours in the average profile, starting between 14:00 and 20:00 local time.
