From: Rising worldwide challenges to climate-induced extreme low-production events of photovoltaic and wind power

Fig. 3

a, b Spatial distribution of change in anomalies during ELP events under different scenarios and periods. The map is based on the multi-model mean projection. The slash indicates regions with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 1, suggesting robust multi-model projections. c Spatial distribution and average power production potential of installed areas and potentially exploitable areas. Installed areas refer to regions with detected wind turbines, while potentially exploitable areas are those without installations but with development potential based on land use and topographic suitability (see “Methods” for details). d Histogram of change in anomalies during ELP events. Histogram distribution is plotted based on the multi-model mean projection under different periods and scenarios. Colors in panel (d) correspond to panel (c), with purple denoting currently installed areas and pink indicating potentially exploitable areas.
