United Kingdom Power Generation Expenditure Report 2012-2030

Focuses on the market for developing and constructing power generation capacity in the UK.

The report highlights the fact that the closure of current nuclear and coal power stations is set to create a power shortfall in the UK as early as 2017. In the short term, this will be met mainly by new gas power stations – increasingly running on imported fuel – and, in the longer term, by a combination of new nuclear plants, wind power and clean coal power.
