UK wind record

Re: UK wind record
RWE has bought the Norfolk windfarm cluster that Vattenfal pulled out of, so that is one project back on the drawing board.
Re: UK wind record
Not a wind record, but with wind at 15gw and solar at 8gw, total UK fossil powered electricity is below 1gw at close to peak weekdays demand.
Is this a record low for carbon emissions?

Re: UK wind record
I suspect that it might be a record low for carbon intensity of electricity production, or very close thereto.
CCGT at below 1 GW is very rare.

Re: UK wind record
UK wind power has been over 10GW for the last 24 hours, and did reach about 14 GW at one point.
Some way short of a record, but might be a new record for summer.
We even stopped importing electricity from France.
