This course introduces a range of scenarios for the future of the GB electricity system to 2050, some of the new technologies that are needed at scale to meet targets, and how they will be supported in the market. The course will also explain the latest changes to market arrangements and network infrastructure planning and investment developments.
The electricity sector is evolving rapidly to meet the twin objectives of decarbonisation and security of supply.
Projections for how the system will continue to change to meet 2050 targets include the need for novel generation and storage assets, change in consumer demand patterns, the build out of new network and new support schemes to incentivise unprecedented levels of investment. Market arrangements are being modified to encourage efficient siting of new assets and more optimal use of the electricity network infrastructure.
