New wind record?

Is today a record low for wind?

0.24GW this morning at 9.30. Especially when you compare that to the actual installed capacity!

Its amongst the lowest since say 2020.

I looked at the gridwatch templar numbers going back to 2020, this does ignore the live non metered stuff and I have ignored the zero's as there is always a bit of duff data.

The lowest on there today is 0.084 GW at 8:45 this morning.

There are only 2 days it was lower,
0.035 GW on 22/07/21
0.071 GW on 16/08/23

As you say considering the extra installed capacity its up there with the lowest.

Well this is fun.

I'm in the process of deleting my account on Twitter, and downloaded all of my Account Data from 12 years of activity on that platform. Looking back at my old Tweets I found one from 10th December 2014 about a then Wind Power Record.

Anyone care to guess what it was 10 years ago?

We had around 12GW of installed capacity back then so I reckon around 9GW.
