I've noticed over the past few days that the interconnector between the UK and France which was put out of action a few weeks ago is back up and running at reduced capacity. 1GW transfer is the most I've observed so far, which is roughly half its usual capacity. It is shown as 'IC France' here. https://gridwatch.co.uk/    (just click on 'meters' if you prefer the old style display)

One little dig in there

Tariff offering – We understand the reluctance of suppliers to promote tariffs that are currently loss making, but consumers should nevertheless be able to obtain price cap compliant tariffs in line with suppliers’ licence conditions and obligations.
