The UK will need more gas-fired power plants in the future to avoid blackouts, Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho warned today, as older facilities get retired. The warning comes amid a review of the country’s energy system that the Conservative government is currently conducting. The review, it seems, has revealed that this system needs baseload generation backup to wind and solar to avoid power outages when wind and solar do not generate.
Both biggest parties in the UK are committed to the energy transition by the Conservatives have made some important concessions to energy supply reliability recently, including licensing new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea and now this plan to build more gas-fired electricity generation capacity. Unlike them, Labour appears set to have a transition at all costs.
