It would be very interesting to know why it's not lower already. We're often curtailing wind. Although partly this is due to not having enough connectors from Scotland to England I think it is also in order never to shut gas completely off. I know that spinning generators help regulate the grid frequency and are used if the grid needs restarting, but isn't there enough nuclear for that?
