Fascinating to see the potential use, vs. the actual 'right now' capacity viewing this at 3pm GMT.

And also interesting to see the import/export power figures: How one region supports, though nothing like the capacity needed to substitute renewables' variance.

France is really leading consistency of capacity vs. generation with Nuclear.

France also seems to have 4 times hydro capacity of Portugal, which is interesting given Portugal's recent 100% renewables day but inability to use it today.

Why is Norway consuming 22GW but UK only about 40-45GW, and Germand 60-65GW, given the great disparity in population of Norway?
