Easy to forgt this interesting page which shows UK power status by generating category.
www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
It was in the news the other day no coal was used to generate power due to good wind conditions and relatively low demand.
Gas is still the backbone of generating capacity though.
Today Wind and Solar are making almost 30% which is quite impresive.
The Solar (right side) is such a small dial that zooming the page is required.
I think it's something of a calculated estimate due the way it is so diffuse on individual roofs etc.
