Power Stations: Closures
(asked on 6th February 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many electricity generation plants have (a) closed and (b) ceased operation since 15 November 2018.
This question was answered on 13th February 2019
The UK Government is committed to delivering secure electricity supplies at least cost to energy consumers. The current standstill imposed on the Capacity Market does not change this commitment or our belief that Capacity Market auctions are the most appropriate way to do this.
No transmission connected electricity generation plants have closed or ceased operation since the 15 November 2018.
