In response to the Government’s announcement outlining proposals to reform Britain’s Capacity Market, Energy UK’s Deputy Director of Policy, Adam Berman said:
“Reforming the capacity market is key to reaching a Net Zero power system. It’s critical to ensure that we can incentivise new forms of flexible low carbon generation. Phasing out unabated gas is absolutely key, but can only be met by rapidly expanding our short- and long-duration storage through technologies such as green hydrogen, batteries, and pumped hydro storage”.
