There has been an unusual pattern of both demand and supply over the last couple of weeks, with very large amounts of wind and solar energy being generated. There were even news stories on Sunday of some people on special contracts receiving credits for their electricity use during the day. These are strange times for the Grid as well as the rest of us.
