There was one day Friday I think when the OCGT plant was run all day this is as Paul says unusual. I also notice that other gas generation was throttled back because of the gas shortage and the fact that the price of gas was the highest it's been all winter. The French link was running at less than full capacity for at least 2 days. I think really the grid coped well all things considered. Incidentally highest consumption was just over 50,000 Megawatts that's a LOT of electricity.
