850MW of generation lost last night
Both Whitegate and Dublin Bay gas power stations tripped last night a few hours after I had published about the return of Whitegate power station. Dublin Bay appears to be back this morning but Whitegate is still offline. This shows the precarious nature we are in. It now means we are dependent on a not too dependent interconnector and wind system.
There is no reason given for the outages. It's possible that the loss of one power station can trip another but whether this is what occurred last night I do not know.
