26 585MW with only 3 OCGT's seems pretty good these days. When they said they decided to go against permanent stage 2 they meant they decided against saying it out loud.

It hasn't got worse so that would be construed as a W...

Still wanna know, how is it that this last week S4 has been needed overnight but our whole working country only needed S3 during the day
Simple answer really: BS

We should've had like last week where it was Stage 4 at night only? Though they saying they've burnt through to much reserves.

Thankful for small mercies...

Though they saying they've burnt through to much reserves.

Playing its part I'm sure, but their reserves don't work on the daily day/night clock.

So you think they're trying to save diesel overnight?
I suppose an attempt to save anything would be something respectful. Not sure anc deserve any savings though, nor that it would ever end up helping the country.

Think they trying to save money? Or perhaps pump the water back up at night to flow during the day, who knows, the fact that the unplanned breakdowns has not dropped below 15GW in 3 months??

Maybe best to just call it failed attempts and leave it at that :- (
But you know my fix-extra theory...
