People like Booker and North have done a lot of work on the STOR capacity.
Fantastically expensive, but more than enough diesel generators sat in warehouses to keep the lights on.
We have a diesel generator, quite a small one but it would give us enough to run the lights, the tv and probably the heating.....maybe not the fridge/freezer or tumble dryer.....
We are in a rural area and this year changed our electric hob to a calor hob - we don't have mains gas and use oil for the heating....we have an open fire and have a portable calor gas fire too.
We tend to get random power cuts as it is....never for long, a couple of hours has been the longest, it was the existing power cuts that made our minds up about a calor hob. It was really irritating not to be able to make even a cup of coffee.....
In the event of power cuts we'd get by....0 -
why are the gas ones suddenly uneconomic? Is it the level of subsidy that renewables benefit from that we pay for? As you point out we need to have power stations up and producing a base load to top up renewable shortfalls and dropHalf the gas stations have been switched off as renewables make them uneconomic...isn't this the problem everyone has been saying about renewables since day one - you still need just as much non-renewable capacity for the days the wind doesn't blow / sun doesn't shine?
