Is that for real, or are there some tricks, like buying energy from somewhere and not aggregating in the data?

Looks real, but it was a snapshot. Mostly it is worse.

It's real and not that uncommon. Windy weather, especially with sun, is very good for the UK from this perspective. It will get even better over the next 12-24 months as a number of wind farms come online.
