Massive Electricity Price Rises Expected as National Grid Confirms Gas is the Only Back-Up for Intermittent Renewables

It is planned that Britain by 2030 will produce 95% of its electricity from so-called green sources with 5% coming from gas.

The pretence that electricity can be stored at scale to support unreliable renewables is nowhere to be seen in a recent interview with Fintan Slye, the head of National Energy System Operator (NESO).

The cat is finally out of the bag.

Furthermore, he continues: “As the percentage of electricity coming from renewables increases, the consumer price increases accelerate.” In his social media blockbuster , Martin Durkin introduces it as the story of how an eccentric environmental scare grew into a powerful global industry.

Reserve gas generation is the only game in town if all life in Britain is not to grind to a halt during a windless, winter freeze.

The planned destruction of Britain’s own gas and oil industry will hardly help future sourcing and pricing, let alone national security.

Already in the U.K., the National Grid is forced to pay renewable operators to stop producing energy.
