Of course if a lot of staff are off maybe that is why coal is off, after all
working in a coal fired station means you are probably inhaling dust and
hence your lungs are not too good.

Just noting that for the last few days we have had a high over a lot of

and a lot of wind.

Could be the weather front stalled half way down, of course.

Anyway at the moment there are bright blue skies for lots of solar and
plenty of wind.
Coal off most of the time, nuclear running lower than usual
(maintenance?)
and CCGT not doing a lot.

Renewables kicking around 50% of demand.

Nice to see, but I'm sure it won't last.

Probably just coincidence, but it's interesting the first 3 days of
"lockdown" have seen (certainly in the Midlands) 3 days of uninterrupted
sunshine dawn to dusk ....
