No wind to speak of here today in Cambridge .. and there wasn't any

Be careful about assuming that wind patterns in one location are
representative of those elsewhere. It isn't always the case.

However, wind output was low earlier today. That was forecast in
plenty of time to get some old plant going [1]. Also, as forecast,
wind output is rising rapidly and it would be possible to look at
whether such plant could be put to sleep again.

All as discussed. Nothing to get excited about, simply an example of
managing the electricity system.


[1] assuming that with a much larger amount of diverse wind the
pattern would have been repeated.
