Wind-power all over Britain in 2030

Britain is getting ready to revolutionize its power engineering! Dreams about effective economic energy can be real if a thorough preparation for such a change is done. Analitical company Pöyry presented a well-thought plan of wind-power use in the system of electric power supply. It is the wind force that can provide cheap electric power for consumers and prevail over other power sources in the country. Reduction of the electric power rate will make all the power plants change their energy production technology. At the same time existing power stations will be used in emergency case if usual windy weather changes for calm days. Traditional fuel can be used to prevent power drops in the national energy supply system. The electric power bills will grow for such periods of time. Thorough analysis of national climate peculiarities shows that the greatest problem will be support of traditional power plants being the national energy system reserve. The most interesting part of the analysis is devoted to the wind power price for consumers. The prognosis is that consumers can get it just for free as the winds are usually strong and the national power system does not have enough capacity to transform all the wind power into electricity. Only 1/3 of the wind power can be used at the existing ways of electricity production at the power wind plants. Just switching off several wind plants is enough to prevent the electric system overloading.
