Records keep being broken

Two days ago we broke the record for the amount of solar generated in a half hour period, managing 14.1GW. I'm not sure what new capacity has been added since last summer but I'm guessing a reasonable amount given how early in the summer we've managed to break the record from last year.

Then the following day, we produced the least amount of our electricity using fossil fuels in a half hour period, with just 0.85GW coming from gas. One day very soon the whole grid will be running on low carbon power for a short period of time.
