Gas providing <4% (1.37 GW) of GB electricity grid generation just now. I haven't been keeping track, but this might be a new record low? The remaining gas is only there for grid stability reasons, and grid-scale battery storage is gradually eating up this market for gas generators too.

@katemorley@hachyderm.io For a while you've had a narrative section on the page where you track records levels of wind power generation. I was wondering if you'd thought of tracking minimum levels of fossil generation too? Hopefully at some point before too long, it'll be possible to start to track record maximum time periods with no gas generation at all.
