[QUOTE="Wiltshire-Lad, post: 7273455, member: 480"] If you fancy a laugh, ask National Grid about STOR contracts. These are the balancing contracts that are supposed to make up the shortfall. They can‘t get enough of them. Carbon trading has lead to a shortfall of new dependable power generation. As a consequence environmental derogations have been given to new plants offering short term reserve. This means that some of the most polluting plants possible have been built with a special permission/exemption as the volume of renewable power has increased. Strange that this isn’t in the media as a story. Instead we get stories about how no power was generated with coal. As someone involved in developing new power stations, I hope we get more power cuts. The current system is broken and doesn’t incentivise dependable generation, only a bit of pain will lead to change. Same as farm payments. [/QUOTE]
