UK coal plants export power to France as cold weather bites
NOVEMBER 18, 2017
*** The operators of Britain’s eight remaining coal power stations appear to have stepped in to exploit higher French prices, exporting power across the channel as temperatures have plunged.
The operators of Britain’s eight remaining coal power stations appear to have stepped in to exploit higher French prices, exporting power across the channel as temperatures have plunged.
On Friday, power through the interconnector was almost entirely flowing at maximum capacity towards France.
“We are now exporting to France through the interconnector which is unusual. Normally we are a net importer from France but yet again towards the end of the year we are exporting,” said Andrew Crossland, who runs MyGridGB, a site that monitors power generation data.
“Essentially this means that France is importing higher carbon electricity than it can produce at home,” he added.
The Guardian appears to be aghast that the wicked coal power stations are “profiting” from the woes of the poor French.
Perhaps they would prefer it if the French had to suffer power cuts instead.
But it does raise the question of what we are supposed to do when they have all shut. The plan to rely on interconnectors from France does not seem to be such a good idea after all!
