...or at least that is the ONLY conclusion I can draw from the dramatic drop from over 3GW on Tuesday night to just over a GW at 9 a.m. this morning (Wednesday).
Unless they were told to shut it, Id say all of the scottish farms were feathered, and only the English ones functioned at all.
This occurred just as the morning demand peaked - it looks like they actually had the CCGT ready for that and pushed them up faster, but its one of the fastest drops in wind output I have seen - about 750MW and hour.
They lurched back into life as the storm passed..getting back to nearly
2.5GW by the afternoon/evening peak.I wonder how much gas we wasted trying to balance that little lot.
