Looking at Gridwatch, coal is fired up but Biomass which has been
running flat out is now throttled back.

A cynical thought is that Biomass generation is by converted coal
plant (IIRC) at the same site, so has someone decided to get their
money's worth by firing up the coal plant and easing back on Biomass?

Also noting that the OCGT is fired up at the moment whilkst the CCGT is
nowhere near the stops.

Do we have a lot of capacity not working in CCGT?

Just puzzling over the economics.

Some OCGT capacity is converted CCGT capacity, there is around 2GW of
CCGT offline and mothballed since May 2020 when the operator went into
administration.

Every day is a school day. :-)

Thanks
