According to National Grid Live Nuclear output is 2.67 GW which is the lowest I've ever come across. The grid seems to be coping adequately all the same, it has me wondering just how low the figure needs to drop to before the "Must have a Nuclear baseline" argument has the wind taken out o...

Re: The Boy That Cried PV Extension
Anyone got an below 1%? 0.13 %, I set min export at around 1kW all the time whilst I am not importing. :mrgreen: If your on an export tariff there is little downside if you have a large enough battery, I have found even setting a min export at a few tens of watts makes a big difference. https://i.p...
