Response to Sunday Telegraph coverage of constraint payments report
Constraint payments are nothing new. National Grid has been paying coal and gas generators - and others - to change their planned output well before wind farms joined the mix. These payments are made when power cannot be transmitted to where it is needed, usually due to congestion at a certain point on the network. When this happens, National Grid needs to take action to ‘balance’ ...

$14 Trillion to be spent on Power Plant Equipment and Repairs in the Next 25 Years
Nuclear capacity is slated to increase from 392 GW in 2013 to more than 620 GW in 2040. But its share of global power generation will rise just one percentage point to 12 percent, because almost 200 reactors of the 434 operational at the end of 2013 will be retired, they will need to be offset by new power plants. Total investment will exceed $2 trillion over the next 25 years. The gas turbine ...

Statement on recent developments in natural gas and electricity markets
The steep rise in European gas prices has been driven by a combination of a strong recovery in demand and tighter-than-expected supply, as well as several weather-related factors. These include a particularly cold and long heating season in Europe last winter, and lower-than-usual availability of wind energy in recent weeks. European prices also reflect broader global gas market dynamics. There ...

World of clean energy ‘feasible’ by mid-century
A global low-carbon energy economy is not only feasible, it could double electricity supply by 2050 while actually reducing air and water pollution, according to new research. Even though photovoltaic power requires up to 40 times more copper than conventional power plants, and wind power uses up to 14 times more iron, the world wins on a switch to low-carbon energy. These positive findings are ...
