(The timezone where this screenshot was taken is same as Madrid's) spain solar in the night

jarek commented 7 years ago

Actually I guess this could be stored solar / molten salt production. Do we have any way of checking what stations are responsible for that production?

Spain is down now but I also saw about 2GW of solar 30mins ago. Which is during the night.

I think we should check with ENTSOE (we get the data from their transparency platform). cc @Dalius-ENTSO-E - maybe you can help us investigate / debug?

It was indeed reporting 2.49 GW at 23:45. However that appears to be because the production numbers didn't change from 20:00 until 23:45 - only reported import from Portugal changed: spain 8pm spain midnight

The production numbers should only be valid for two hours actually, specially to avoid the kind of situation you're describing. Maybe there's an error in the backend.

I'm closing this as this shouldn't happen anymore. If it does, please re-open the issue. Thanks for reporting @jarek
