Well into the red.

Just sayin :-)


TNP will correct me if I'm wrong (he created Gridwatch, after all, so
he should know), but AIUI the coloured zones on the dials are a little
arbitrary, and don't indicate maximum available capacity in every
case.

precisely.

with coal and nuclear closing left right and centre, mothballed plant
and plant on very low readiness its hard to establish what the real
capacities are.

I adjust the scales periodically to reflect the actual maximum data
