Re: [Claverton] Another milestone for wind

Precisely...thats why it is worth running expensive diesels a few hundred hours per year...adds nothing discernible to the bill you get but means they can have far less plant on spinning reserve.

Is the most profitble output base load power? I suppose they charge more per MWh for peak load supply, but their is a lot less of this.

There was an interesting piece in the FT yesterday pointing out how increasing energy market participation by renewables has been chipping away at the finances and business model of the fossil fuel powered generators since renewable energy replaces their most profitable output.

This exposes - in the starkest possible way, on company P & Ls -  the myth that renewables do not save fossil fuels.

Yesterday, 7th Nov 2102, grid connected wind did not fall below 3007MW and peaked at 4400MW out of 5066 MW capacity. Average during the day was around 3800 MW, so tha the cumulative output for the day was over 90000 MWh.
