To make the power stations more carbon neutral they need to run on gas, rwe has converted and modified their gas stations to better efficiency than new builds but for some reason gas is too expensive. Its not viable to use gas stations. Coal is considerably cheaper so coal stations are on 80% utilisation most of the time where as gas is down at circa 20%!
The government want low carbon emissions but arent willing to invest in the low carbon stations, they think and hope that wind power and solar is enough for the uk to survive but its just isnt. The power industry is in limbo!
