The DRAX website showing energy sources, demand and price
shows an interesting spike today when the price jumped from
£88 at 16:30 to £195/Mwh at 17:30 then dropped back to £31
just after 18:00.

The yellow line which I thought was solar shows an increase
after 15:30 peaking at 18:30. What's going on here ??.

garbage in, garbage out ??

Only because each source is stacked on top of the sources below it
(pumped plus imports went up at that time)

if you look at the solar number in the slidy thing, it's zero after 16:45
