[QUOTE="Hampton, post: 7861869, member: 6937"] Actually you are both correct on this. At the moment there is capacity, and their are plans to increase capacity to cope with future needs. however, it is not as simple as you are making it out to be [USER=6]@Clive[/USER]. The key issue is that historically the majority of the power stations have been in the Midlands, and the big capacity cables run from those stations to the areas of high needs (ie in the Midlands, the big factories) then reducing capacity as you get further away. With the closure of these traditional power stations (I can name 5 in the West Midlands which have closed in the last 15 years) this has had to be replaced by solar, wind etc, however many of these new forms of power are based in areas with lower cable capacity (Cornwall, Wales etc) As far as I understand, the cost to alter the cabling to allow more forms of renewable power (providing we don’t bite the bullet on nuclear power) will be the most expensive civil engineering project the country has ever faced.
