Updated Data and New Calculation of Data Coverage Rates (QII/2012): German and Austrian transmission system operators have updated the installed capacities for wind and solar power units for the statutory section of the transparency platform on 23 May. At the same time, single figures were adjusted for conventional generating units smaller than 100 MW in the control areas of 50Hertz, Amprion, APG and TransnetBW due to new available data.

Compared to 15 February 2012, the installed capacities for wind power in Germany increase from 28,932 MW to 29,706 MW. The installed capacities for solar power rise from 22,040 MW to 24,507 MW in Germany and from 105 MW to 109 MW in Austria.

Due to this update, data coverage rate increases from 95.02 to 95.68 per cent for the German statutory section and remains at 100.00 per cent for Austria. The data coverage is calculated as ratio of the installed capacities reported to the platform (reported data) and the sum of the effective installed capacity. It currently amounts to 96.12 per cent for the joint German-Austrian market area.

Calculation of data coverage rates is based on the below shown figures (MW):
