This dry weather is nice but…..

Holy crap it’s bad for the UK’s renewables!

Between 4 and 7pm tonight a single kWh of electricity is going to cost me > £0.80 !!!

(wind turbines are sat around doing sweet FA)

Also, what is the psychological cost of living under a sky that looks like a grey blanket?

the turbines can still turn when wet, its the lack of wind that stops them

You’d prefer rain?

Personally I’m enjoying dry-ish midweek night rides and can’t muster too much sympathy for OP’s leccy bill.

Yesterday’s ride was 99.9% mud free. I’m happy.

…. thanks

(although TBF it’s affecting everyone as it means the grid has been gas powered for the last week or so – and will be next week also)

I did say the dry weather was nice 😉

It’s been mizzle in the mornings of most of my commutes for the last week. Very dull. Wouldn’t mind a bit of sun.

Nothing personal mate, but as someone else asked – did you mix up rain and wind anyway?

Just me that spotted the nominative determinism of the first two posters?

Currently sitting at work, looking at 4 Gas Turbines units bollocking 1340MW into the grid. Sorry OP, but the country would be screwed without it.

At least there’s no coal contribution any longer.

@tthew

So your producing just under 4% of the UK’s electricity at the moment?

This is my 3rd year of not having to manage TRIAD season demands and its so much less stressful.
