## Key points

- Low wind tightened the forecast supply margin.
- NESO requested extra generation for Monday morning.
- The operator said supplies remained secure and no action was needed.

## Summary

Britain’s National Energy System Operator (NESO) issued a precautionary notice asking electricity generators to make more power available for Monday morning. It said low wind generation had reduced the expected gap between supply and demand, but stressed that the notice did not signal power cuts or a risk to customers.

NESO forecast a shortfall of about 1,388 megawatts between 6am and 11am on 9 November, around the morning peak. The notice gives market participants an opportunity to increase generation and build a larger reserve; NESO says such notices are routine tools for balancing the electricity system.
