  You mean at the most off-peak time possible, passive energy generation was generating more than active generation? Fascinating.

    It is fascinating tbh. Moreover, it’s currently (as of writing) at 42%. Considering 13:30 is hardly “off-peak”, I’d say that’s pretty damn impressive.

    I mean, there is a chart right there in the link... You can see wind was around the 45-50% mark from late morning Monday onwards. That's impressive.

  app.electricitymaps.com is probably the best site for such data. The old Gridwatch site still gets a few hits i’m sure!

  I should stop complaining when it’s windy.

  Congrats from across the pond. I hope we in the US might soon see similar figures...
