I understand how you could get excited by multiple businesses.
Cheapest low carbon hydrogen in uk
Only source of ammonia
Only source of graphite, and to annode
Largest gas storage facility.
But the biggest prize for gov is ldes. It is their key objective. If our power is cheaper than gas they can lower the cost of every unit of electricity purchased.
If ldes is cheaper than gas, then on some days ldes sets the price and not expensive gas using LNG.
I think the cost of using the curtailed power. 1bn rising to 6bn is important. But if you think beyond the cosy of using unused power, the benefit to the country of lowering the energy price paid by consumers and hitting a key manifesto pledge is huge.
Gov is under pressure. If it makes economic sense and political sense, then this gets approved
