This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government must start thinking strategically about energy security to protect the UK's energy supply against short-term shocks and rising global energy prices, according to a report by MPs on the Energy and Climate Change Committee. Gas storage capacity needs to be increased in the UK to minimise the potential damage from supply interruptions or price spikes, the report argues. It reveals that the UK's current storage capacity amounts to only 14 days worth of gas supply - a dangerously low level compared with France which has 87 days worth of gas storage, Germany 69 and Italy 59. 19 gigawatts (GW) of ageing electricity plant will close by 2018 and the UK will become increasingly reliant on energy imports as North Sea oil and gas reserves decline. The report concludes that new electricity generation currently being built or planned will fill this "gap". But it urges the Government to ensure security of supply by delivering on its energy efficiency targets, rolling out smart meters - that can balance demand - and maintaining a diverse energy mix.
Download or read book UK Energy written by Richard Bending and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1984 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed assessment of the current UK energy situation, future needs and energy policies. Past policies have often taken too little account of uncertainty, and have therefore quickly become outdated. The book concludes that the need for a positive energy policy is increasingly urgent. The book is in three parts. The first part sets the UK in the world energy context, reviews the history of UK energy policy and institutions, and describes the current pattern of fuel use. The second part contains detailed analysis and discussion of UK energy demand and supply. The third part of the book reviews policies for energy conservation and discusses the overall energy prospects for the UK. The concluding chapter examines energy policy objectives, relating them to the problems and issues identified in the book. The authors are amongst the leading authorities on UK energy, and are co-authors of Energy Economics (also published by Cambridge University Press).
Download or read book The UK Renewable Energy Strategy written by Great Britain. Department of Energy and Climate Change and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document sets out the Government's plans for a radical increase in the UK's use of renewable electricity, heat and transport, which will meet the legally-binding target of 15 per cent of energy coming from renewable sources by 2020. This Strategy will help tackle climate change, reducing the UK's emissions of carbon dioxide by over 750 million tonnes between now and 2030. It will also promote the security of UK energy supply, reducing our overall fossil fuel demand by around 10 per cent and gas imports by 20-30 per cent against what they would have been in 2020. And it will provide opportunities for the UK economy with the potential to create up to half a million more jobs in the UK renewable energy sector resulting from around £100 billion of new investment. In parallel with energy saving, nuclear and carbon capture and storage, this is a key element for setting the UK on the path to achieve a low-carbon, sustainable future that helps address dangerous climate change. This strategy could result in: more than 30 per cent of electricity and 12 per cent of heat generated from renewables; and 10 per cent of transport energy from renewables. The Government will: provide financial support for renewable electricity and heat worth around £30 billion between now and 2020; drive delivery and clear away barriers, through the Office for Renewable Energy Deployment; increase investment in emerging technologies and pursue new sources of supply: create new opportunities for individuals, communities and business to harness renewable energy. The UK Low Carbon Transition Plan is published alongside this document (ISBN 9780108508394).

Book excerpt: This evidence is presented to the Select Committee to provide a perspective in terms of the threats, vulnerability and consequences of the UK Energy Supply System within a global-national context characterized by unprecedented uncertainties and increasingly complex intertwines. This contribution is based upon the ACEGES project (www.aceges.org). ACEGES stands for Agent-based Computational Economics of the Global Energy System. The ACEGES models the energy demand and supply of 216 countries. The aim is not to present another set of quantifications for policymaking, as there are a number of reports and papers published in recent years. Rather the aim is to provide a coherent overview of i) the assumptions of the energy models used to produce the published quantifications and ii) the approach used to develop energy scenarios for the assessment of the UK's Energy Supply. It is evident today that the long-term sustainability of the UK's energy system is under acute strain. Therefore the comments that follow mainly deal with the need to enhance: a. The existing energy models to assess the sensitivity of the UK's energy supply. b. The way of developing multidimensional global-national continuous scenarios for long-term assessment of the resilient of the UK energy system to international events.

The first part concentrates on the analysis of the countries energy sector and their comparison. In the second part this analysis is brought into perspective within the European Union. As for the sources of information and their validity and quality, we used primarily the youngest publications of the European Union, since this data is compared with others the most accurate and up to date. But we also took other international sources into consideration, newspapers as well as official energy sources.
Download or read book Renewable Energy in the UK written by David Elliott and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed account of how renewable energy has moved from the margins to the mainstream in the UK, and of the battles that have been fought to achieve this, trawling through the often troubled history of government involvement. The book examines how renewables became what now seem likely to be the dominant energy sources of the future. Renewable energy technologies, using solar and wind power and other natural energy sources, are now supplying around 30% of UK electricity and appear set to continue expanding to supply around 50% within the next decade. Although the emphasis of the book is on the UK, developments there are compared with those in other countries to provide an overall assessment of the relevance of the UK experience. Chapters explore why the UK still lags behind many other countries in deploying renewables, in part, it is argued, due to its continued reliance on nuclear power. The book ends with a discussion on what sort of changes may be expected over the coming years. The author does not assume a single answer, but invites readers to consider the possibilities.

This book was released on 2007-05-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two main energy challenges: tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions; and ensuring clean and affordable energy as the country becomes increasingly dependent on imported fuel. These challenges have to be met against the backdrop of rising fossil fuel prices; slower than anticipated liberalisation of the EU energy markets; heightened awareness of the risk arising from remaining oil and gas reserves being concentrated in a few geographical regions; and a need for substantial new investment in power stations, the electricity grid and gas infrastructure. This White Paper sets out the Governments international and domestic strategy to address these challenges and ways to implement the Energy Review of 2006 and the 2006 Pre-Budget Report. There is a separate consultation document on nuclear power.

This book was released on 2008-01-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The May 2007 White Paper "Meeting the energy challenge: a white paper on energy" (Cm. 7124, ISBN 9780101712422) set out the Government's international and domestic strategy to address the two main challenges: tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions; and ensuring clean and affordable energy as the country becomes increasingly dependent on imported fuel. An online consultation on nuclear power and the role of the private sector: www.direct.gov.uk/nuclearpower2007 was produced at the same time. This White Paper sets out the Government's decision taken in response to the consultation. The Government believes it is in the public interest that new nuclear power stations should have a role to play in the country's future energy mix alongside other low-carbon sources; that energy companies should have the option of investing in them; and that the Government should take active steps to open up the way to the construction of new nuclear power stations. It will be for the energy companies to fund, develop and build the new stations, including meeting the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management costs. Section 1 summarises the consultation process. Section 2 addresses the key issues that arose from the consultation and how they have been taken into account in shaping policy and reaching conclusions. Section 3 outlines the facilitative actions the Government will take to reduce the regulatory and planning risks associated with investing in new nuclear power stations. Finally there are three annexes: alternatives to nuclear power; justification and strategic siting assessment processes; regulatory and advisory structure for nuclear power.

Download or read book The Energy Security Climate Nexus written by C. Kuzemko and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the advent of important crises of both climate change and energy supply (in)security, questions are being asked about changes in energy governance. Caroline Kuzemko explains how and why change takes place and discusses the convoluted UK energy governance system that has emerged between 2000 and the present day. She applies a complex theoretical approach based on new institutional concepts of policy paradigm change, but which also utilises concepts of (de)politicisation and securitization. UK energy governance, like energy policy elsewhere, is moving from one heavily influenced by neoliberal economic ideas to one where state intervention is more commonplace. Moreover, the new governance system is informed not by one but by multiple perspectives on energy and governance geopolitical, climate change and pro-market.
