Octopus Energy is a British clean energy supplier that also operates renewable generation and the Kraken energy management platform. The 1.3GW figure refers specifically to solar generation, rather than Britain losing 1.3GW of electricity from the grid. Solar generation accounted for 14.4 per cent of Britain's electricity in July, according to figures cited by Octopus Energy. The amount of solar generation affected will vary across Britain, depending on how much of the Sun is obscured in different locations. As the eclipse passes, solar generation will recover and the temporary reduction will ease.
