🦁 See how national demand for electricity fluctuated during last night’s Netherlands vs England game at #EURO2024 ⚽ We experienced demand increase by 1GW due to the TV pick up effect as the nation grabbed their half time refreshments. 📈 As the second half kicked off demand for electricity fell until the full time whistle caused a 740MW increase in demand.
