Wind and solar forecast confidence assesses how accurately renewable generation matches projections. Lower confidence means large swings when wind lulls or clouds reduce output, raising power prices. Recent months saw variable wind speeds and intermittent cloud cover challenging forecasts, but improved models and diversified geography should enhance predictability.
