1600 years of modelled present-day and future energy production and demand under a present-day and present-day+2degC climate

This dataset contains daily renewable energy production and demand data used in the study "Impacts of future changes in climate variability on Europe’s renewable electricity systems" (van der Most et al., 2025). It includes modeled production from offshore wind, onshore wind, solar photovoltaics, run-of-river hydropower, and hydropower reservoir inflow, along with temperature-dependent electricity demand. The data was generated using 1600 years of climate model simulations and a daily electricity system modeling framework. The dataset covers multiple European regions and includes simulations for both present-day (PD) and future (PD+2degC) climate conditions, using time-slice simulations. It is based on the KNMI-LENTIS Large Ensemble, which provides 160 ensemble members per climate period (16 parent years × 10 seeds), derived from the EC-Earth3 global climate model.
