It’s probably going to be the coldest night of the year, and the grid is working nearly flat out.
At 18.30, coal is providing 9.88 GW and is running at full capacity. CCGT is providing nearly half of our power, and is again at nearly full capacity.
There are apparently outages at Sizewell, Heysham and Hartlepool nuclear plants, leaving a shortfall for nuclear.
Altogether, coal, gas and nuclear are providing 80% of the UK’s power.
So much for renewable energy!
