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.)?

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)?
