Austria Daily Load Shape and Duck Curve by Hour, 8 October to 4 November 2026

In the 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026, electricity demand in Austria averaged 6,599 MW and typically peaked at 18:00 local time (7,500 MW) and bottomed out at 03:00 (5,224 MW). With solar and wind taken off, the remaining load fell to 3,868 MW at 13:00 and then rose 2,087 MW between 14:00 to 17:00. Hours are local clock time (Europe/Vienna).

Key Facts

  • Over 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026, average demand in Austria was 6,599 MW. The hour of the day with the highest average demand was 18:00 local time (7,500 MW) and the lowest was 03:00 (5,224 MW).
  • The largest three hour rise in average demand was 682 MW, between 14:00 to 17:00 local time.
  • The single highest hour of demand in the 30 day window was 8,625 MW, in the hour starting 4 Nov 2026, 17:00 CET (UTC+01:00).
  • Solar output averaged 1,722 MW at its 12:00 peak, 26% of average demand.
  • Demand minus solar and wind (net load) averaged 5,035 MW, fell to 3,868 MW at 13:00 and rose 2,087 MW over the three hours from 14:00 to 17:00, 32% of average demand.

Average Day by Local Hour

28 days to 2026-11-04, Europe/Vienna time
Austria average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in Austria by local clock hour over 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 November 2026. It was lowest at 03:00 (5,224 MW) and highest at 18:00 (7,500 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 28 complete local days from 8 October to 4 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 8,625 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/Vienna. 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.
