The UK is set to achieve a major milestone on Monday (30 September) with the closing of the nation’s final coal-fired power plant, Uniper’s 2,00MW Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire. This means that from 1 October 2024, the UK will officially have 0% of coal-fired power in the electricity mix. This is a major milestone for the country, which is now firmly focused on developing a clean energy system by 2030. 👍 #UKcleanenergy

I’ve worked in energy for nearly 30 years (I know!) and it’s always changing! Zero carbon is the future and this report shows how close it is to becoming a reality.

Well worth a read...https://lnkd.in/gdUmWcRu Another step forward in the UK's own experiment in how to reach #NetZero without #fossilfuels. Ironically, I suspect long-term the UK will have to reach for more #gas imports (US & Middle Eastern LNG) to fill the gap. Ultimately, while it's great to have debate about the long-term viability of renewables in the #UK #grid without alternative #PeakerSupply, it's at least useful to start from sensible numbers of how much it's going to #cost, how long it will take, and generally how much it will #save / #notsave the #UKTaxpayer.

GB Power Market: Will Prices Ever Return to Normal? Drops in power prices might be in sight, but the long-term outlook remains complex. Higher than expected gas reserves in Europe have lowered fears of shortages this winter. With Cornwall Insight’s Benchmark Power Curve cutting short-term power prices by 12%. Good news for consumer bills - however, high gas prices, driven by dependence on imported LNG following sanctions on imports from Russia, mean costs for 2024 are still predicted to be more than double historic averages. While renewables offer hope, with the shift towards green energy bringing prices down over the decade. Growing demand from electrification and European exports could keep prices above pre-2021 levels for years to come. Want to dig deeper?
