Arctic Sea Ice Cover 1979 - 2012
Minimum Summer Sea Ice in 1979 ~ 7.01 million sq km
• Red line outlines extent for reference
• Minimum Summer Sea Ice in 2012 ~ 3.44 million sq km
a loss of 51% in 33 years
• Significantly lower in 2012 than average minimum

Is Global Warming natural
or man-made?
Natural causes
• Earth’s Orbit
• Sunspot Activity
• Volcanic Eruptions
• Etc.
Reasonable agreement up
to ~ 1960
Man-made causes do not
show particularly good
agreement in early part of
period.
BUT including both manmade and natural gives
good agreement

The Triple Challenges of Carbon Reduction, Energy Security and
Cost of our Future Energy Supplies
Some of the Key issues
• What are key issues of Energy Security, particularly in the
next few years with older stations closing and UK now
dependent on over 50% of its gas from imported sources and
also two thirds of its coal?
• What might the future electricity generation mix look like?
• How does UK energy mix compare with that of other
countries?
• What contribution might “Fracking” provide for security for
electricity generation?
• To what extent would variable renewables such as wind
cause issues on the secure supply of electricity?
• What are the cost implications of the options available?
• What is the impact of support for renewables on the price of
electricity?
5
• Are the lights likely to go out over the next few years?

In recent years, electricity retail prices have varied
much less than wholesale prices. However in recent
months retail prices have risen above long term
wholesale trends.
7
What are causes of price rises in recent years?
• In period 2004-13, Electricity Bills for average household
have risen from ~ £288 to around ~£577 or ~100% *
How much can be attributed to support for Renewables
under the Renewable obligation?
• Support for All Renewables in 2012-13 was £1.99 billion **.
However 313,569,728 MWh was supplied
representing an increase of 0.69 p/kWh in retail price of
electricity
• At typical domestic unit prices of 13 – 14p per kWh this
represents and increase of just 4.9%.
• Of this the impact of onshore wind on bills in 2012-13 was
0.22p per kWh or ~ 1.7%. For offshore the figures are 0.16p
and 1.2% respectively.
• Wholesale prices had risen from 2p in 2004 to 4.5p per kWh
by end of 2013.

Our Choices: They are difficult
Do we want to exploit available renewables i.e onshore/offshore
wind and biomass?. Offshore Wind much more expensive. Solar
PV is now mature but also more expensive than on shore wind.
Tidal and wave are not options for next 10 - 15 years except as
demonstration projects.
[technically immature ]
If our answer is NO
Do we want to see a renewal of nuclear power ?
Are we happy with this and the other attendant risks?
If our answer is NO
Do we want to return to using coal?
• then carbon dioxide emissions will rise significantly
• unless we can develop significant carbon sequestration within
10 years UNLIKELY – confirmed by Climate Change
Committee
[9th May 2011]
If our answer to coal is NO
Do we want to leave things are they are and see continued
exploitation of gas for both heating and electricity generation?
>>>>>>
25
Our Choices: They are difficult
If our answer is YES
By 2020
• the UK will be dependent on GAS
for around 70% of our heating and electricity
The majority of which will be imported at volatile prices from
countries such as Norway, Russia, Middle East
Are we happy with this prospect? >>>>>>
If not:
We need even more substantial cuts in energy use.
Or are we prepared to sacrifice our future to effects of Global
Warming? - the North Norfolk Coal Field?
Do we wish to reconsider our stance on renewables?
Inaction or delays in decision making will lead us down the GAS
option route and all the attendant Security issues that raises.
We must take a coherent integrated approach in our decision making –
not merely be against one technology or another

Future Scenarios for Electricity Generation up to 2030
Assume Highest Projection for Fracked Gas
Future Demand – Climate Change Committee (2011) estimates
• Assuming significant growth in electricity for electric vehicles
and heat pumps
• Alternative demand – limited growth in electric vehicles and
heat pumps.
Renewable Generation
• Current Projections for Onshore and Offshore wind
• 1 million homes/year fitted with PV ~ 40% fitted by 2030
• Severn Tidal Barrage or equivalent completed by 2025
Fossil Fuel/Nuclear Generation
• Existing Nuclear / Coal Stations close as published 09/09/2013
• New Nuclear completions at one reactor per year from 2021.
• New Coal with CCS as demonstration schemes @ 300 MW per
annum from 2020 & 1000 MW per annum from mid 2020s

The future is our Responsibility
In the Next 10 Years
• Energy Security and Cost issues in the UK will become just as
important as Carbon reduction and at times supply could
become critical.
• New nuclear and coal will not be available until after 2020 and
there will be an increasing dependance on imported gas at
volatile prices.
• Renewables such as Wind are now very predictable at the 24
hour time scale and can be used strategically with gas
generation for a supply which is secure and can respond to
demand.
• Currently support for renewables is less than 10% of retail
prices.
• The UK needs a diverse mix of nuclear, renewables and fossil
fuels to provide the resources to tackle the Trilema of
Climatye Change, Energy Security and the Cost of Future

Strategies being taken by National Grid
Demand Side Balancing Reserve (DSBR)
Providing opportunity for large industrial consumers to shed load
between period 32 (i.e. 16:00hrs) and period 40 (20:00 hours) over the
Triad Period November to February.
Consumers will be paid for such action.
Planned reduction of 570MW for 2014/15 (or ~ 1% of peak demand)
And 1140MW for 2015/16
Modelling of impact has been done on the basis of the Value of Lost Load
payments at £17 per kWh – implying total payments of up to £1.15 M per
day over the Triad Period
Supplementary Balancing Reserve (SBR) provision is also planned
– i.e having plant which have been mothballed or closed available for
providing capacity.

Raising Awareness
• A tumble dryer uses 4 times as much energy as a washing machine.
Using it 5 times a week will cost ~ £100 a year just for this appliance
alone and emit over half a tonne of CO2.
• 10 gms of carbon dioxide has an equivalent volume
of 1 party balloon.
• A Mobile Phone charger: > 10 kWh per year
~ 500 balloons each year.
• Standby on electrical appliances
up to 20 - 150+ kWh a year - 7500 balloons. (up to £15 a year)
• A Toyota Corolla (1400cc): 1 party balloon every 60m.

The future is our Responsibility
We must take a coherent integrated approach in our
decision making on energy – both on supply and
demand.
We must promote Energy Conservation and develop
a coherent generation mix to provide a low carbon,
energy secure and affordable future, not only for
electricity but also for heat and transport.
