Seems to be a Demand Control Imminent in effect from 10:23 today (11th).

Are these DCI's routine (ie shed some industrial load on those special
tarrifs) or is it bad(TM)?


DCI seems to be the 3rd level of warning, they're offering to buy at
over half the FIT price for electricity available at 10pm tonight, get
your torch out harry ...


Golly. 10pm on a saturday night is not a traditional high demand time.


It appears to be a generation shortfall according to BM reports..looks
lie they have shut down a lot of kit for the weekend and now realise its
going to be bloody cold..
