Clean electricity What is the limit of renewable deployment/penetration without flexible and dispatchable generation (fossil with CCUS, battery and other storage) being necessary to compensate for their intermittency? Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Clean electricity Does local generation lower the costs of moving to a net-zero emissions economy, or are the necessary electricity system upgrades required to electrify of heat & transport so dramatic that the system upgrades are required in any scenario?

Clean electricity What are the potential cost reductions due to new technology developments in innovative and pre-commercial renewables technologies? Such as, but not limited to, marine technologies, floating offshore wind, and bi-facial/tracking solar. Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Clean electricity Can we definitively establish a position on ‘Amplitude Modulation’ noise disturbance for onshore wind farms, so that BEIS/DEFRA can set specific criteria that developers have to meet to not cause a public health or public nuisance? Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Clean electricity At what point in time (taking into account cost reduction trajectories and technological developments) would the costs of deploying storage and other flexibility solutions (e.g. compressed air energy storage, hydrogen) be lower than bearing the wider system impacts of intermittent renewables? How does this vary for different flexible technologies and deployment levels of renewables? Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Clean electricity At what level of deployment do the additional costs of deploying further intermittent renewables lead to significantly higher overall costs – versus, for example: i) increasing the flexibility of the system to limit the need to build excess intermittent renewable capacity? ii) investing in a more diverse generating mix including more baseload and dispatchable generation (e.g. Nuclear/CCUS/Tidal etc.)? Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020

Clean electricity What is the most cost-effective way to deploy renewables and storage into the electricity system and reduce overall system costs? For example, should variable renewable generators face the costs of extra flexibility needed to accommodate them onto the system, such as through making CfD generators more responsive to market signals, or should we address wider system costs elsewhere, outside of the CfD regime (e.g. through higher curtailment and balancing costs)? Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, 2020
