Archived reporting-window high

Highest Gas Generation Record

EnergyMix.info record page for high gas generation periods, demand peaks and carbon-intensive electricity mix conditions.

Highs within the available archive, not all-time records

Partial week · 6 calendar dates. Declared reporting window: 2026-09-23–2026-09-28 (inclusive). Day boundaries were not preserved. A calendar-date span does not establish complete source-interval coverage. No original report-specific interval-completeness evidence was preserved.

These are archived daily-average highs for that reporting window, not live peaks or a complete historical record. Original figures and dates are preserved.

The original report definition is not fully preserved. Do not assume this archive uses the current live metric definition.

Archived daily-average high

Current measured 7-day high: about 11.8 GW average gas output on Monday 28 September, based on the available historical generation feed.

Why this record matters

Gas highs show when the system is leaning more heavily on flexible fossil generation, often because demand is high or wind and solar are lower.

Source notes

  • This is a reporting-window high, not an all-time record.
  • Future versions should add gas share, settlement-period highs and carbon-intensity context.
  • Gas records should be framed carefully as system explanation, not sensationalism.
