In addition to the numbers above, another 14-17GW of residual gas capacity will require decarbonising to achieve the net-zero power sector emissions target by 2035. This can either be achieved by further capacity build, repowering (e.g. with CCUS) or via offsets.
The current menu of flexible capacity options includes:
Batteries
Emerging longer duration storage technologies e.g. compressed air, flow batteries
Interconnectors (noting the challenges of correlated stress events across NW Europe)
Demand side response (recognising limited flexible demand resource)
Peakers (focus on engines, recognising requirement to decarbonise e.g. via
