SteamyTea Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 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%.

SteamyTea Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 36 minutes ago, Temp said: EDF nuclear 3.564 GW, only 3 shut down. Am I right in thinking that EDF are the only nuclear supplier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
