The Tata operation at Shap. Picture: Google Streetview A DECISION is set to be made next week on whether to give the go-ahead to two gas peaking plants for electricity generation in Cumbria. Plans have been submitted to Eden District Council for two gas peaking plants on land next to the Tata Steel Lime Kilns at Shap, and it will fall to the council s planning committee next Thursday to decide whether to approve the proposals. As peaking plants, they would not run at all times, and instead would be brought online at peak times, supplying electricity to the National Grid.

Green Energy UK supplies 100 percent renewable electricity and 100 percent green gas. The company has been championing sustainable energy in the UK for the past 20 years and was the first energy supplier in the UK to offer residential customers a Time of Use (TOU) tariff in 2017. The company s ‘TIDE’ time of use tariff offers a Low-TIDE electricity rate at off-peak times, enabling EV drivers to charge their vehicles overnight when electricity prices are at their lowest, from midnight to 7am daily.
Electric Nation is different to other V2G projects because it is using four different energy partners instead of just one. This means that the project is a more realistic simulation of a future world in which many streets will have a number of EVs using V2G chargers with different energy suppliers.

Part of National Grid’s Regional Development Plan (RDP), the first step in the overhaul, has seen a new system introduced to manage electricity flows between the national system and South East England’s regional system, which is run by UK Power Networks (UKPN). Up to 600MW of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the South East – which up until now have not been fully integrated with the national system – can now link to UK’s primary grid even under difficult conditions such as when faults occur on the network. This is facilitated by a new system that links the local control room of UKPN to the centralised control room of National Grid, providing better visibility and helping to keep a balanced electricity supply.
