  • There are many things in development for solving the unreliability of renewables. Some of which are already operational.


    1. Improvement of battery storage to store surplus energy when demand is low. This is being done through:

    •utilising existing battery storage systems (the lakes up mountains)

    •development of new battery storage facility's

    •development and introduction of two way electric vehicle chargers (to charge in times of low demand and to discharge in times of high demand)


    2. The introduction of carbon capture and storage will enable fossil fuels to be used to produce power without emiting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This would also allow the use of coal again which there is an abundance of supply in the UK.


    3. In times of high demand, when there is a shortfall of energy; energy can be purchased from abroad through the existing under sea distribution network which is currently being extended to enable the UK to purchase from more European Country's.
