un referenced assertion[edit]
- "However the cost of energy from peaking plants is much higher than from baseload generators, and increasing intermittent generation, such as wind power, requires a greater percentage of peaking plant to compensate for wind generation's variability".
I have removed this un referenced assertion, which is clearly wrong. There are many other ways of achieving what peaking plant achieve (presumably he means expensive to run OCGTs), such as load management at commercial and domestic scale, more spinning reserve, use of biogas generators using stored fuels, use of contrained off wind plant, compressed air storage, flow batteries, disconnecting large fleets of electrical vehicle batteries form charging, vehicle to grid generation, interconnectors etc.

Cost of replacing the natinal grid in the UK to accommodate renewables[edit]
There is a discussion on this article at:http://www.claverton-energy.com/wikipedia-article-on-estimating-costs-of-transmission-upgrade-to-deal-with-renewables.html#comment-845
It looks like the cost of entirely replacing the UK grid (and therefore doubling it) is around 0.5p/kWh, so far.
