Even lower CO2 on grid

[Andy Fletcher]

On 2020-04-21T16:00 the grid reached 40g/kwh. About the only CO2
intensive source was 4.5GW of gas. Biomass which runs at about 120g/kwh
was turned right down too[1]. Negative spot market prices hit
-54.00/mwh, probably a lot of curtailments going on too.

WE also hit another PV generation record this week with 9.68GW on
2020-04-20 [2]. I expect we will see some more records over the next month.


Enjoy the clear skies and unpolluted air whilst you can.

Andy
