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?




I dont think so...

Solar was being recorded as bugger all, correctly, at that time.
