UK Wind Record

[nowty]

Chance of breaking a record again, with France importing keeping demand high.

21.4 GW now on Energy Numbers and I think it has to go over 22 GW to be in record territory.

Big numbers again today ~21GW, with exports to France, but import from the others.

Over 22GW tonight Nowty?

We have around 5GW of demand to climb up to 6pm and we lose the 3GW of solar currently generating so gas is going to climb.

Can wind climb with it to add another 2GW.

Energy numbers says that we are exporting 4.1GW to France at this moment. That’s the highest I’ve ever seen.

How much can we export to France, Stan?

As I see it we could be exporting (by other routes) more to France, in some instances? These interconnections are a very useful tool for the European countries to help each other out at times such as in the present fuel crisis - due to the pukin invasion of Ukraine.

Looking at the OFGEM list, there are 4GW of interconnectors to France, with another 2.8GW planned over the next 3yrs.

Existing and future interconnector projects

We are importing 7Gw of electricity at the moment. That has to be a record.


FYI over the last 4 weeks electricity production (metered) Gas 6975 Gw ,Wind 6979 Gw .

Funny old wind patterns for the past couple of days.

Ahem - there's my uber-thread on Interconnectors here! Actually have 4.4GW of interconnect capacity to/from France at the moment.

I see nuclear has dropped a bit 4.2GW. The EDF site was last updated on the 3rd so is a bit out of date.
