Great Britain’s tumultuous energy week has continued, with system tightness leading to West Burton B being called at £3,000/MWh yesterday (6 January).
National Grid ESO’s new Downward Flexibility Management service was brought into play this weekend to cut embedded generation, along with the Grid Code modification which was also approved.
The UK’s electricity system price spiked to £2,242/MWh last night (4 March 2020) following lower than expected wind generation during the evening peak.
