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 of it's sails!

Unbelievable that every Nuclear power station has at least one reactor offline for refuelling at the same time at this time of year. Could maybe do with some better planning! The reactors that are offline are also consuming nearly 100MW to keep them cool etc.

I think its actually perfect planning cos every current outage is planned refuelling and coming back early Dec.

Its actually been even lower last year down to just over 2.0 GW mid Feb 2023.
