Impact of the EU Industrial Emissions Directive on UK power supply
Datamonitor, June 2010, Pages: 15
The EU is consolidating its emission legislation into an over arching directive. This will lead to the closure of 10GW of power generation and more will potentially follow. The timing is poor as a difficult winter forced the power industry to consider re-opening coal power stations and calling on interruptible contracts to meet spiking demand, but is this directive as damaging as it appears?
Scope
- Analysis of new EU legislation that has been implemented to reduce emissions in the power generation sector.
- Insight into the industry's concerns about this new legislation and how they plan to respond to a threat to the industry
- Forecasts of UK power supply Vs power station decommissioning. Highlights whether the UK still risks a supply crunch by 2015
- An Overview of the options available to the UK in response to EU directives and how the industry should be better prepared in future.
Highlights of this title
Revised EU directives threaten the future of coal in UK since the LCPD intends for all coal power stations still operational after 2015 to be deemed environmentally acceptable.
LCPD version 2 places serious strain on existing supply capacity and heightens risk of a power deficit, but Drax is the key to 2015's supply crisis. If it opts in to LCPD 2, an energy supply crisis could be averted.
The UK has sufficient new generation coming online before 2015 to avoid a supply crunch therefore a reprieve is unnecessary for the UK's security of supply and undermines the IED's purpose
