A bit perplexed about our generation.

[SteamyTea]

Now I know it is nice and sunny, and we have the longest hours of daylight this week, but what struck me as odd is how little nuclear generation is currently happening.

It may be scheduled maintenance, but I would have thought that we could be increasing it and using less natural gas.

Both wind and solar are generation more than 50% more than nuclear at the moment (16:10 19/06/2023), gas is less than the two combined by about 10%.

EDF nuclear

3.564 GW, only 3 shut down.

Am I right in thinking that EDF are the only nuclear supplier?

We have a shortage of nuclear generation due to so many old plants reached end of life and we have been too slow to replace them.  France I believe is in a similar position.
