Well, that’s a record. Put some last summers defrosted meat out for the fox at 16:40 (after sunset and in the rain), it arrived within 5 minutes. Lucky young thing.

Woah, big up to the wind farms at the moment, producing nearly 60% of our power. Exporting 18% to France, hope that is for a decent dollar. Personally, we should have zero transfers until gas generation is at zero.

Aha, there's proper data here ... bmrs.elexon.co.uk/remit/detail...
They'll be adding another 200MW tonight to get it to full output power.

Still using too much gas for generation though.

Have the national grid data going into my Home Assistant since yesterday. Quite fascinating watching the nuclear power ramping up following a refuelling, presumably at Heysham 2, Reactor 8. The EDF website isn't very reliable, but this data is better.

Well, glad to be over that hill. But I’ve still spent less this week than if I’d been on the government rate.

Jeez pt 2, with 40% of nuclear offline this is hurting. But I’d have paid 50% more this year on the standard capped rate.
