There seems to be a lot of sabre rattling in certain sections of the press over the current fisheries dispute with France, and the threat of sanctions including cutting off the French electricity feed.
Looking at Gridwatch there doesn't seem to be that much capacity from France.
Is this something of an empty threat, or are there areas which rely heavily on France which are not perhaps shown in Gridwatch? For example the Channel Islands?
Also, don't we feed to France if we have spare capacity due to excess wind?
Just had a look and we are using very little gas at the moment and the nukes seem to be rocking.
