"I have been surprised
myself at the absolutely
central role which CCS has to
play across the UK economy if
we are to deliver the emissions
reductions to which we are
committed at the lowest possible
cost to the UK
consumer and
taxpayer."

The Department for
Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy has
welcomed savings for
consumers from National
Grid's recent enhanced
frequency response,
but said the prices were
"lower perhaps than we
were expecting to see"
and it remains to be
seen "whether they are
profi table of not".
"Whatever
cost"
"The last thing you
want is for all this
new technology to
lead to higher prices,
lower reliability and a
signifi cant challenge
on society around
the large number of
stranded assets."
