Analysis Summary I’ve analyzed the Renewables_2025.csv file containing 103,573 records of hourly energy generation data spanning the entire year 2025. Here are the key findings: (Gemini 3 Pro) Dataset Overview: Key Statistics: Critical Finding:Found 46 days in 2025 when combined wind and solar generation fell below 20% of total energy demand. This represents approximately 12.7%…

Ideal wind pattern but only 14.5 GW generated (<50%). Where is the rest ? ============================================================ WEST COAST WIND SPEEDS Stornoway 33.4 mph (200 deg)Oban 19.6 mph (150 deg)St Bees Head 34.4 mph (148 deg)Bangor 32.2 mph (170 deg)Newquay 24.2 mph (170 deg) ============================================================ EAST COAST WIND SPEEDS Thurso 28.2 mph (162 deg)Aberdeen Bay 34.5 mph…

At 14:36 BST on 15 Sep 2025 the generation mix you shared showed: Why today mattered 1. Minimum-inertia operationWith less kinetic energy stored in spinning machines, the grid could tolerate only smaller and faster shocks. ESO therefore procured its maximum Dynamic Containment tranche (≈1 GW each direction) plus extra Dynamic Regulation and Moderation, giving ~2…
