High demand, 100MW of open cycle gas on the grid, lots of wind and most of the nukes online (Dungeness B tripped yet again) and importing to capacity. Must be pretty close to the limit of what's available.

Are there any useable oil plants left?

Wouldn't it be a shame if all the chavs around here had to go without their flashing Christmas lights for a few hours.

Reminded of that spoof by Bob Rivers to the tune of good vibrations, called

Tried to see for myself but Gridwatch not responding (~2100 Monday).
Telnet 80 doesn't connect, telnet 443 does but gives garbage.

Might just be the ****e wireless I'm on.

How high was demand? Gridwatch flatlined just before 1900 but that
time is normally after the peak. Even so gas was under 20 GW (can go
well over that), pumped had 0.5 GW spare, hydro looked to be flat out
and so was coal at over 15 GW. Nukes doing well, Nothing unusual
about importing at capacity from the French or Dutch.

Are there any useable oil plants left?

Yes, Littlebrook though it's signed up as SBR so is not active in the
market any longer.

sorry - the server hosting hardware crashed and gridwatch came up with
dead mysql.

I had to restart that manually..so there was a gap.
