📣 We’ve connected the world’s LARGEST offshore wind farm to our electricity transmission network – and it’s just produced power for the first time! ⚡
Learn more about @SSERenewables' #DoggerBank, and how it will power homes and businesses around Britain when it completes 💡
We saw a peak of just over 26GW ⚡ on the system, at around 12:45, during the #Coronation 👑 service Our team in the control room were busy ensuring Great Britain could enjoy the celebrations 🎉 #Today by balancing #Electricity supply and demand second by second!
Just being present isn't enough. Diversity is about being at the table, inclusion is about having a voice, but belonging is about that voice being heard and valued. Let's strive for true equity and make space for everyone to be heard. #diversity#inclusion#Belonging
Last week we hosted our quarterly Balancing Programme event to share progress on our industry co-created Balancing Programme Roadmap.
Read some great feedback from @modoenergy here 👉 https://t.co/G2S8CJmlbh
Excited to be a part of the Quarterly Balancing program Event in London! Discussions on the future of balancing for a zero-carbon system operations are underway. Join the experts for insightful panel discussions on the path towards a sustainable energy future 💡
NGESO has some estimation of how high temperatures effect power demand in British Summer Time - above 21 degrees peak demand increases above normal expectations, and overnight the demand increases when temperatures are above 18 degrees
🏅Record amount of wind 🌬️on the system today - 🎉🍾🥳- 19.835GW. Local NRAPM issued to manage system in West of 🏴- lots of hard work across the industry to get here and lots more work to come for 🇬🇧's clean, green and affordable energy future.
A warm welcome to our speaker - Daniel Drew, Senior Energy Modelling Specialist, @NationalGridESO, UK. Drew is speaking on June 8 at the "#WeatherForecasting for #Power and #Utilities 2022" virtual conference.

Really looking forward to presenting with the wonderful @kellowayj1 at @national_grid's COP26 stand tomorrow at 4pm in The Green Zone. We'll be talking about the use of artificial intelligence in electricity forecasting, including @OpenClimateFix's work. Please come and say "hi"!
Last night’s #Euro2020 between #ENGITA final saw our control room register a TV pick-up of 1800MW – the steepest of the tournament.⚡️ Further pick-ups came at full-time (1250MW) and the end of the match (500MW) as the game reached its dramatic finale. ⚽️👇

Yesterday #wind power hit 𝟭𝟴.𝟭𝗚𝗪 on GB's #electricity system at 10.30pm ⚡️🌬️ – over 850MW clear of the previous record.
Wind is still generating at near record levels, so we'll monitor. We crunch the numbers overnight for accuracy – watch this space!
Great to see this insight from all the hard-working teams at @ng_eso who help to operate the system safely and securely around the clock.
Exciting times ahead as we progress towards our 2025 #zerocarbon ambition.
After a lot of preparation, very pleased to announce that @nationalgriduk@nationalgridus will be a Principal Partner for COP26. A very important year ahead in which we can all play a part in pushing further to tackle climate change.
I’ve placed our rangoli outside No.11, the mithai are set to be delivered and the family Zoom is booked in.
I know things will feel a bit different, and it’s hard not to be able to see family, but we will get through this together.
Happy Diwali everyone!
🚨 the first @ng_eso tender for #DynamicContainment is complete🚨
