    Gas providing &amp;lt;4% (1.37 GW) of GB electricity grid generation just now. I haven&amp;#39;t been keeping track, but this might be a new record low? The remaining gas is only there for grid stability reasons, and grid-scale battery storage is gradually eating up this market for gas generators too.
