KEY PLAYER IN ENERGY
SECURITY - GOVERNMENT (THE
UK ENERGY BILL 2012)
- By 2020, more than
£7.5bn available to invest
in non-carbon generation
- Households will pay more
- 10% bills going towards
renewables
- Average of an extra £95/year bill
- Ed Davey says this is cost
effective in the long term as price
of fossil fuels rises and cost of
renewables goes down
- No 2030 target to
decarbonise supply - revisited
in 2016
- Businesses have no reassurance about
security of long-term returns on investments
made today - could jeopardise investment in
offshore wind
- Gas fired power stations with 40 year lifespan
guaranteed - belief that global gas prices will fall
and cost cushioned by fracking
- Return to nuclear
- No commitment to cutting energy consumption
- UK expecting a two thirds rise in
demand (Germany - Europe's
manufacturing heartland -
projecting a decline of one
quarter)
