https://www.electricitymap.org https://www.electricitymap.org shows a rather simple pattern. When the wind is clam in EU it goes brown in most countries right now. I take a walk outside and even if south of Sweden is only a single data point, I can often make a pretty good prediction about the color of the map.
More dynamic energy grid and storage could change that, as could investment in nuclear. In the mean time the investment money are currently going into the combination of gas plants and wind farms. Its a local maximum where investment into wind pays off as it is cheaper than fossil fuels when the winds blows, and investment into natural gas pays when the wind is still because then its a sellers market.
