I do look at the site from time to time and from previous chats I

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?




I dont think so...

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

Er, nope! It was being shown as 0.004GW to be precise, at precisely
22.30. Maybe you have a bug in the software because that's exactly what
it reported.
