This site has been completely revamped, the graphs look a lot clearer.

I guess this is down to the inclusion of solar power which was cursory a few years back. Do they now aggregate all of the roof top solar and add that in?

Snooping around Glastonbury and my great Aunt's old town I've noticed a number of Solar farms in the countryside:
