A drop in wind and how the pricing bid stack works. There is more than enough capacity to not use coal, but its down to pricing.

Not wanting to put a downer on this, but what generated the 11% of imports? We have a
#CarbonTax that's applied to our own fossil fuel generation, and that is partly responsible for the demise of coal, but I don't think we apply that tax to imports. -
I assume a lot of it is French Nuclear. There is a better breakdown at https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
