I do look at the site from time to time and from previous chats I expect
nuclear to be going hell for leather, wind and solar to be doing what
the weather dictates, and CCGT filling in the gaps, with coal kicking in
when the warm brown stuff hits the rotating object. OCGT when all else
fails.

Tonight coal is almost up against the stops and CCGT is just strolling
along at about 11 GW with plenty to spare.

Is there some kind of special offer on coal power at the moment?


Solar's contribution showing as 4MW at 22.30 - is there a surprise full
moon we don't know about?
