⚡️ UK Grid update (19:33) ⚡️
Saturday night energy check 🌙🔌 Demand has eased to 36.3 GW, with frequency dipping slightly to 49.891 Hz, putting the grid in moderate territory — but still well within control 👀
A calm, breezy winter evening — steady, efficient, and closely watched ⚖️⚡️ #UKGrid
⚡️ UK Grid update (16:01) ⚡️
Bang on 50.004 Hz 🎯 — textbook frequency control!
Wind still doing the heavy lifting 🌬️ (~48%), demand easing at 39.5 GW, and carbon intensity dipping to a tidy 98 gCO₂/kWh 💚
No coal. Low blackout risk.
The grid is chef’s kiss balanced right now 😌🔌 #UKGrid #NetZeroWatch
⚡️ UK Grid check-in! ⚡️
Wind is absolutely showing off today 🌬️💪 supplying ~51% of metered power, carbon intensity is a squeaky-clean 101 gCO₂/kWh, and the grid is chilling at 49.912 Hz 😌
No coal. Low blackout risk. Britain running breezy & balanced.
Energy nerd heaven 👀🔌 #UKGrid #WindPower
"Why is UK energy so expensive? Gas still prices all electricity via marginal pricing — even with wind & solar dominating. £1,758 cap, electricity 4x gas cost. Time for nuclear + storage to change the game. ⚡💸 #UKGrid
I'm not going to get too involved in the headaches that Spain & Portugal have in restoring their grid but for those interested in the UK, the plan can be found in OC9:

An update from me - there's an addition to the family arriving earlier than planned so this is about as polished as it'll get for now: Beta for Version 2 of TerraVolt. It has quirks & faults but it is about usable & less heavy going on devices:

Some additional sites added to the live power wheel:
24x Grid Batteries (was quite surprising how many have appeared!)
2x PV Sites
11x Synchronous Condensers (seeing as I had a bit of a space where Coal was - these are based purely on MEL for state.)

Heavy gas usage day today. Pretty much all the CCGT fleet is in along with a fair chunk of OCGT (which will no doubt rise for the peak tonight) #energysky #ukgrid.
