Checking out the boilers?
 

As I keep an eye on the grid regularly.. its amusing to see that last
week a couple of hundred MW of OCGT fired up for a half day, and today
the oil fired power stations are flexing their muscles - as at least one
nuke is down for refuelling one supposes. And the French interconnector
is out for the count as well. It was supposed to be half power but is
not..So a lot of pre-winter maintenance going on.

No matter want James Hansen says I think the Grid is reckoning that we
may have to pull some chestnuts out of the fire to keep Germany going
this winter.

Again.
