The single inter-connector cable between the UK and France can carry 2GW, or about the same as one large power station. The UK's peak demand can be over 55GW....<br /><br />Consider that last winter we had a period of high pressure and consequent low wind speeds lasting for over a week. During this period Wind Power provided less than half a percent of the demand!microdavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509959543151548263.post-44343351593653017852010-11-13T12:50:43.900+00:002010-11-13T12:50:43.900+00:00Doesn't that constitute a monopoly?
