Navigating Energy Choices: Carbon, Cost, and Consequences in the UK

Explore the implications of electricity generation methods in the UK. Analyze gaps, targets, and alternatives to centralized power generation, including renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuels. Consider the impact of wind, tides, and nuclear power on energy generation and consumption. Delve into the challenges and opportunities of integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. Gain insights into the role of coal, gas, and clean energy in the energy transition debate. Engage in an open and honest discussion on the future of energy policy in the UK.

  1. Carbon, cost and consequences http://eon-uk.com/generation/carboncostandconsequences 1

  2. Gaps and targets 2

  3. Alternatives to centralised generation Ground source heat pump Smart meter 3

  4. Renewables and nuclear E.ON UK renewables operational locations New build nuclear 4

  5. A windy winter day with spring tides Spring Tides Fossil fills in the gaps Spring Tides Wind declining from 75% to 50% Nuclear will need to reduce load 60 And some renewable energy discarded Assumptions 40 GW Wind (Onshore/Offshore) 9 GW Severn Barrage 10 GW Nuclear 50 GW Fossil (Coal and Gas) In this scenario 40% of electricity is renewable 40 GW 20 10 GW Nuclear 0 06:00 12:00 18:00 00:00 00:00

  6. A calm winter day with neap tides Fossil provides most of the energy Tidal Tidal (neap) Wind < 10% capacity 60 Assumptions 40 GW Wind (Onshore/Offshore) 9 GW Severn Barrage 10 GW Nuclear 50 GW Fossil (Coal and Gas) In this scenario 40% of electricity is renewable 40 GW 20 10 GW Nuclear 0 06:00 12:00 18:00 00:00 00:00

  7. Gas and Coal LNG Continent Price (p/KWh) Annual supply (bcm/yr) Norway UKCS Geographic source of UK consumed gas – past and future Coal vs gas prices change over past 5 years 7

  8. We believe there is a role for coal and we have to make it clean 8

  9. An open and honest discussion is the only way forward 9
