Part 1: A power crisis Every time we switch on a kettle to make some tea or turn on the heating, we expect our electricity supply to work. We take it for granted that it wll ight our houses, cook our food, run our businesses and keep us alive. But in our lifetimes, this electricity supply could run out. We are quickly moving towards @ power crisis. = The nightmare scenario is if our demand for electricity can no -_ longer be met by our ability to supply it, then the lights go out. oa In today’s programme, we're investigating this very real problem. We're here at the National Grid to find out how they are dealing with our increasing demand for energy. Breakfast time in Britain. The toasters are on, the kettles are boiling cand showers are pumping out hot water. All this requires electricity ‘and ail the electricity in the country is controlled here by this team of twenty-five people. This is the National Grid Control Centre. Up there on that board you've got every single power station in the ‘country and the demand at this precise moment. Over three hundred power stations across the country turn coal, 908, nuclear and wind into precious electricity. And it's the job of these guys to send that electricity from where it’s made to where we need it - down thousands of miles of high voltage cable, across __ the country and directly into our homes. And on this particular cold winter morning, the demand for electricity is very high, nearly doubling in just ninety minutes! Part 2: The future of our power supply In winter, Britain uses on average fifty gigawatts of electricity ~ that's fifty billion watts! The National Grid meets that demand using seven gigawatts from nine nuclear power stations. Coal power stations generate around twenty-five gigawatts, gas power stations ‘make a little more and renewables, including wind, provide around ten gigawatts. Another six gigawatts comes from abroad or other sources, ‘At the moment, the grid has more than enough power to supply all our needs but over the next ten or twenty years that will change. The government have set ambitious carbon reduction targets, at least thirty-four percent fewer carbon emissions by 2020. To hit that target we have to close almost all our coal power stations andas ‘our nuclear stations reach the end of their lives, almost all will need to be switched off too. So, within ten years the team at the National Grid might not have enough electricity to meet all our needs. We might not be able to boil the kettle for tea! And that could be catastrophic, at least for the BritshtStyle challenge!
