At 16:01 on April 10, 2025, a system frequency dip was observed from the Global-Roam frequency logger which records at 100 millisecond intervals.
In this article we present three charts using the frequency data to provide an initial point of reference for any future analysis that, time permitting, we may perform.
Frequency dipped to 49.824 Hz and spent some time near the lower NOFB
Zooming in we observe some variability in the measurements between 16:01:15 and 16:01:23
The decline happened over relatively long period leading to only moderate rates of change

There were two significant drops in frequency on Thursday 5th September 2024. Whilst the first coincided with (brief) Market Suspension, in this article we take a look at the second (around 16:45).
I was keen to see if there was any noticeable blip in System Frequency resulting from the BW02 unit coming offline on Saturday 4th October 2025 for the brief (two-shift) outage.
One of the many data sets being crunched as part of our analytical efforts underpinning the development of ‘GenInsights21’ is system frequency. In this short article today, we share some initial observations on how it has been changing.
