According to @ng_eso #FES2020 power sector reaches net negative emissions in the early 2030s in the #netzero2050 scenarios.

@Georgeday27 Great story @Georgeday27 ! Nice photos from those good times back in Persian hitory... btw, did I tell you that I’m Persian?! Very keen to catch-up and see more photos!

GB : NG ESO reversing continental interconnectors by more than 5GW as it copes with a glut of solar power on a day with low demand. Pushing inertia from 85 GVAs to 140GVAs by creating transmission demand space for 12 CCGT units to come on in the BM. ^PH

[guynewey @guynewey]

I wrote something on how to take a systems approach to Net Zero https://t.co/U8FGzdi93I

[Montel Analytics @MontelAnalytics]

GB : It's all about the interconnectors. Market coupling sets up GB for export into the continent meaning there is little opportunity for using them for balancing resulting in massive upward and downward re-dispatch on GB assets only and negative prices. Free electricity! ^PH

[Duncan Burt @DBBurt]

Absolutely love this. I don’t think it’s the first but still in the leading group of deep aggregation.... fantastic work @Flexitricity!

[Amir H. Alikhanzadeh @AmirHessam]

Last resort for the ESO to instruct DNOs to disconnect EGs connected to the system as a result of 20% reduction in demand in summer during COVID situation. #flexibility GC0143: Last resort disconnection of Embedded Generation | National Grid ESO https://t.co/EfKDAOOq4X

[Ohme @OhmeEV]

Social distancing has led to a more than 30% reduction in the peak electricity demand in the UK over the last month. The decrease has continued, all be it at a slower pace, over the last week! #coronavirus #COVID_19uk @ng_eso @ofgem

[Amir H. Alikhanzadeh @AmirHessam]

#lockdown + decline in electricity demand by around 13% + #agiletariff + sunny and windy Sunday —> negative pricing for almost half a day.
