That site still hasn't got the Vikinglink HVDC to Denmark on it - not sure I trust the data there! But I think there's about 2GW of CCGT gas still to bring on line so it's all fine, everything's fine how are you...

Maybe it's not being updated. I can see that his offshore wind data is out of date too.

I hope Andrew is OK, he was AZPS in a different life/forum. His site's don't seem to have contact details, but Wifey managed to track down an old University e-mail address for him a year or so back, and I sent an apologetic e-mail (for stalking him) to tell him about this site, as he's (I believe) quite an expert on these matters. No idea if he got it. Boris even stole his Saudi Arabia of Wind Energy description, about 10yrs after Andrew had used it.

Brill ...... anyone a member, who can post? This thread probably has enough info to explain why he's being harassed. And all blame can be placed on me (previously just M). You can run, but you can't hide.

Of course he may not want to hear from us retrobates ...... but he was a really pleasant and helpful commentator on 'an older' forum.

Thanks mate, and I laughed out loud at the last bit - exactly what we thought when I e-mailed wayback.

We seem to have lost another Nuke,

Torness Reactor 1 looks down so we are down to under 2.5GW on the Nuke fleet.

Dont know the reason yet as the EDF status page has not been updated since yesterday but I looked on Terravolt,

All four units of the last coal plant Ratcliffe are now running, next winter we might not have it as its scheduled to close in September 2024.
