This a.m. Andrew Neil (yes, BrilloPad himself) tweeted: "This hot, hot morning we're currently consuming 27,000 MW of electricity. And wind is generating 0.7% of it." I wonder if he got that from gridwatch, which I have tweeted to him about after a previous comment he made. Now, while doing some lawn-mowing just now it struck me that what would be useful on gridwatch would be to have another dial/chart, showing what percentage of UK demand is being met by wind at any given instant. And perhaps the charts could show also the *rated* percentage that wind has of UK generating capacity (not including the import/export numbers, and which would therefore show steps as more wind came online). But I do see that the page is already full :-)
