Recently we've had the seemingly rare combination of mostly-clear skies and a useful breeze, so maybe with higher than usual fraction of solar and wind, maybe it's easier to idle a coal plant than a biomass plant?

Depends on the bio plant most are tied into contracts with suppliers of the product they use where they can’t stockpile it long due to bulk size and they’re getting that shit whether they like it or not.
Cool thing however is a large company are now using biofuel they produce in their plant to fuel lorries that collect the plant fuel.
Cool shit.

The ever popular Gridwatch has ditched 'Coal' from the large circular analogue gauges and promoted 'Biomass'.
Does this mean all the UK's coal burning power stations have now reached their end-of-Life?
