Some context would make it more interesting. How much of it was used? How much does wind contribute to full day consumption?

I must say it was quite windy for the last couple of days. When I say "quite windy" I mean I saw people saying they were blown off their bike :)

Oh cool, that's my website! Let me know if you have any questions about it and I'll do my best to answer them.

And yet we’re about to face an eye watering increase in bills due to the way we’re charged for energy.

Love your stuff Robin. The graphs and wind turbine model are particular favourites

How can we fix the curtailment problem? Storage nearer the turbines or just more transmission capacity generally? I presume we'd saturate storage pretty quickly so is it just a case of running more grid wiring from Scotland to say.. Manchester?

Great website! It would be even more great if it compared total wind generation with total UK power usage for the same time period (with a % for wind power usage).
