Has Andrew (AZPS on the old place) found his way here yet? I tried to give him a heads up via his Twitter account, but don't know if he picked it up.

10GW of wind is better than we’ve seen in the last few months but it isn’t “good” in its own right. 15GW would be more like it and we should be looking for something closer to 20GW as the new record with all the new capacity that’s gone in recently. Also we’re still relying heavily on FF gas for electricity generation, there should be little-if-any on days when the wind blows.

yes, but it's still nice to see wind as the single biggest source! Pity there's so much gas being burned, but there you go...
We desperately need more storage to back up the growing amount of renewables.
