Conventional Generation
Conventional generation (Gas and Coal-fired) accounted for around 73% of all electricity generated in the UK (DUKES - Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2010). With increasing demands on supply, energy security is a growing concern and Renewables are only part of the solution.
Conventional generation, particularly carbon-capture-ready Combined Cycle Gas (CCGT) and 'Clean Coal' plants fitted with carbon capture and storage technology, are likely to continue to account for a significant proportion of the UK's generating capacity.
