- spenrose 2y agoOff-grid solar "appears" as missing load
- tialaramex 2y agoYeah, there's a bunch of British wind power which you can only see in public data as a small but noticeable dip in demand when there's wind power available. If you own a hilltop farm in England, unless your neighbours are complete assholes with political power (e.g billionaires or maybe MPs) you're going to install a small wind turbine because it's free electricity - it's not environmentalism it's just capitalism, and when it's blowing your small industrial processes are run off the turbine whereas when weather is calm you pay like anyone else. Needing a loan for a net-profitable business investment isn't a novelty for a farmer, and this one at least isn't predicated on future food prices - it's predicated on electricity costing money, so your bank manager will be happier.
