THE ENERGY WHITE PAPER

A VIEW FROM THE POWER INDUSTRY  

Within the power industry, few, if any, investments are made that are not a direct result of policy and legislation at the European level, the UK level and the Scottish level.

The government has elevated the importance of energy as a political issue with the Secretary of State for Trade & Industry assuming personal responsibility for energy policy.

The Power Industry translates signals from government into strategy, thus policy drives the structure of the electricity supply system.

The pundits claim that the generation gap is looming, environmentalists demand response to climate change, the fuel supply market is in a state of flux, and the power industry provides the solutions.
