Storm Isha, worse - more widespread than expected.

no it doesnt tend to do that

perhaps Gant should rely on evidence and facts rather than gut feeling

Also energy is made up of a mix, so availability of each type is spread.

"In terms of availability, onshore wind turbines have been shown to reach values in a range of 95–97%"

Can you show me where John d posted up about wind turbines being the bees knees last week.

Wind SSW, persistent light rain.

That's not rain....it's the contents of a reservoir 50 miles away that the storm picked up on the way through....

Nothing is as bad as the storm Brexit brought to our shore.

Leave it! Just walk away. Be the better man.

Very rough and wet night in Brizzle last night. Only problem for us was bit of rain water down chimney into foreplace. It does that a couple of times a year when raining and wind is strong and in a certain direction. Never been able to stop it.

Be turning themselves off soon and generating nothing when the wind picks up

That never happened

The lowest point was around midnight when wind power went down to about 10GW

It's currently about 16GW.

SO your saying not a single turbine turned off last night ,they all stayed on ?

Whatever, my electric cost is as low as it has been, since I joined the Tracker. Gas, likewise.

The pricing model is not designed to give you cheap energy.

If that was what the country wanted, we'd have onshore windfarms.
