As the Telegraph reported, the lack of wind and excess of solar power has been playing havoc with our grid this week, pushing up prices as gas has to come to the rescue.
At 12.50, solar peaked at 13.5GW, supplying nearly half of Britain’s power. Twelve hours later, of course, there would have been blackouts without the 10GW supplied by CCGT plants.
Tripling solar power capacity, as Mad Miliband wants, won’t solve this problem, it will make matters much worse. Three times nothing is still nothing; meanwhile the grid will have 15GW too much at midday.
