LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Britain's Seabank 1 gas-fired power station's maximium export limit dropped to zero from 768 megawatts on Friday morning, National Grid data showed.

This means the plant was unavailable to generate power to feed into the electricity grid.

Operator Seabank Power would not comment on the reason for the drop.

Seabank Power is a 50-50 joint venture between BG Energy Holdings, a subsidiary of BG Group (BG.L), and Scottish and Southern (SSE.L).
