National Grid issues power supply alert as wind generation drops
Some late energy news…
The UK’s electricity network operator issued a warning that its buffer of spare capacity will narrow this evening, flagging that the grid is struggling to match demand with enough supply.
While National Grid said it was confident that power margins would be sufficient, the measure was narrow enough to trigger the automatic alert for 7 p.m. to the market.
The warning was later canceled but it shows the impact a decline in wind generation will have as temperatures plunge this winter.
GB : Capacity Mechanism Notice Issued for 19:00 this evening. Unlikely to become true as NG ESO will use interconnector trading to increase imports this evening over the coming hours ^PH pic.twitter.com/AX8sOFmJxh
