Whilst recently addressing Durham Energy Institute, senior partner in energy systems at Ofgem, Andrew Wright, warned that the future UK electricity system may be one where we cannot access the power we want and when we want it, according to Chronicle Live.

The comments relate to how the renewable energy now replacing aged coal power stations is less constant and therefore requires expensive solutions to manage demands, such as on-site batteries. Sadly, the problem is that the technology required to store vast reserves of renewable energy-driven power is not yet available to support the UK network.

To compound matters, larger residential properties have far greater electricity demands which might include; guest bedrooms and catering, swimming pools, along with CCTV and security lighting. To guarantee continuous power supplies, a stand-by generator is often the most viable solution.
