Abstract
Report discussing an electricity supply strategy for the UK, which recommends immediate investment in large scale, low-carbon, energy generation facilities to meet the Government’s carbon dioxide reduction targets; keeping the nuclear option open and placing more emphasis on carbon sequestration and tidal power; government investment in R&D should be aimed at new and renewable fuel sources, energy management, storage and improving the supply and training of skilled workers in the UK; development of the transmission network, its protection mechanisms and metering systems to facilitate distributed and diverse generators, ranging from commercial to domestic units; and to address the regulatory issues arising from this form of generation.
