Energy Eye - Electricity Report

According to National Grid's Summer Outlook Report 2008, coal could be the most competitively placed fuel for generation this Summer rather than gas. This is reflected in the continuing upward trend of EU ETS allowances, as the dirtier coal fired plant will produce more CO2 than gas fired plant. However, with the Large Combustion Plant Directive in effect, meaning that many coal-fired power stations already have to limit the number of hours that they operate, the grid could be severely exposed should we have any particularly warm days coinciding with maintenance outages.
