Low Wind Generation Prompts Another Power Margin Warning in UK
NESO said the notice is routine and precautionary, citing a forecast 1,880 MW shortfall during Tuesday evening’s peak.
- The National Energy System Operator issued an Electricity Margin Notice for the afternoon and evening peak period between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Tuesday in Britain as a "precautionary measure."
- Wind power generation in Britain is set to plunge, reaching only about 25% of the average so far this year and 40% below the most recent previous forecast from earlier this week.
- Intraday power prices for delivery between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. soared above $530 per MWh, more than 50% higher than the previous day's auction, while NESO expects a system margin shortfall of about 1.88 gigawatts.
- The notice signals market participants to provide additional generation capacity during the peak period. NESO clarified the measure does not indicate imminent power cuts in Britain.
- For the second time in two weeks, the National Energy System Operator warned Britain faces a reduced system margin; previous notices were issued during periods of high demand and challenging generation conditions.
