UK shows value of CCGTs [NGW Magazine]

Summary The tight GB power market highlighted the need for flexible CCGTs to back-up intermittent supply from renewables, particularly during cold spells. [NGW Magazine Volume 6, Issue 2]

The recent price spikes in the GB power market cannot be blamed on low wind levels alone. Cold weather in Britain and in northwest Europe as well as unplanned maintenance works on the 1 GW BritNed power interconnector with the Netherlands – thus limiting cross-border electricity supply – also played a role.
The situation was exacerbated by the fact that two CCGT power stations – the 850-MW Severn Power Station in South Wales and the 850-MW Sutton Bridge plant in Lincolnshire were unavailable as its owner Calon Energy went into administration last summer and the plants were closed down in August, too early to enjoy a moment in the sun.
