The blind seeking guidance from the blind

"A few weeks ago, (UK)Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and his Head of Mission Control, Chris Stark wrote a public letter to Fintan Slye of the National Grid ESO asking for practical advice on how to deliver a clean power grid by 2030.

.... The letter asked Slye to set out a range of pathways to enable a decarbonised power system by 2030. For each pathway they asked for the forecast energy generation and demand mix and the underlying assumptions that need to be met for these to be deliverable."

The reply promised:
"A whole systems spatial view of what is required to deliver a clean, secure, operable electricity system by 2030. The plan will consider possible clean energy generation mixes and their associated network, market and operability requirements, referred to as pathways."

That sounds good as far as it goes. However, the letter then goes on to say that all pathways will “meet clean power in 2030 against a definition to be agreed with U.K. Government.” In other words, there is no agreed definition of what a zero-carbon grid by 2030 actually means. It does not know what the target is.

And Albanese here will be seeking advice from Bowen.
Good luck with that.
