Britain’s grid is forecast to struggle to cope with future weather extreme events, Imperial College London experts warn.
Researchers have today voiced their concerns in an independent report commissioned for Drax Electric Insights, suggesting the UK’s energy system must prepare for once-in-a-decade prolonged periods of little wind and reduced daylight.
They warn if policymakers don’t take urgent action, the country’s climate commitments and energy security will be at great risk.
The analysis shows the UK saw the longest spell of low wind output in more than a decade during the first three months of 2021.
