Europe and North Africa could be powered solely by
renewable electricity by 2050 through the implementation of a
"SuperSmart Grid", according to a report issued this week by global
advisory firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
According to Energy Source, the achievement of 100 per
cent renewable electricity would address energy security and supply
concerns, while decarbonizing electricity generation and reducing
energy poverty, according to the study.
The proposed SuperSmart Grid would allow load and
demand management for power independently of where and when
the electricity is generated.
The system would capitalize on natural resources and
established weather patterns and would incorporate: southern
Europe and North Africa's solar power potential; the hydro
capability of Scandinavia and the European Alps; onshore and
offshore wind farms in the Baltic and the North Sea; Europe's
potential for tidal and wave power; and biomass generation across
the continent.
According to Gus Schellekens, director of sustainability
and climate change at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Europe is now at
a crossroads, where the choice and ability to achieve renewable
power at scale is evident. "Opportunities to use clean and affordable
natural sources of electricity have been flirted with over the past
150 years. This study lays out a clear framework of how this time
could be different", he says.
The dominant source of European power is fossil fuels (55
per cent), while nuclear power provides 30 per cent and 15 per cent
is derived from renewable sources. According to the PwC study, a
renewables-powered Europe would change the landscape for
consumers and business. Electro-mobility could be introduced on
a mass scale, eliminating the carbon costs of day-to-day transport
for people and goods.

OFGEM'S DECISION AGAINST NATIONAL GRID'S
METERING CASE IS FURTHER ENDORSED BY THE
COURT OF APPEAL
Ofgem welcomes today's Court of Appeal ruling that
National Grid breached the law and acted anti-competitively in
the domestic gas metering market, endorsing Ofgem's April
2008 findings.
Today's ruling fully endorses the substance of Ofgem's
case, that the multi-million pound contracts struck by National
Grid with suppliers in 2002 when the metering market was
opened to competition harmed new entrants' ability to compete
and acted against consumers' interests.
The effect of the Court of Appeal's ruling is that suppliers
will be free to renegotiate the terms of contracts with National
Grid Gas, and it opens the door to claims for damages against
National Grid by competing meter operators, as the competition
law regime allows.
Welcoming today's ruling, Ofgem's Chairman Lord Mogg
said "We welcome the Court of Appeal's endorsement of
Ofgem's decision. This confirms that National Grid breached the
law and acted anti-competitively. It is a victory for consumers
and strikes a firm blow in favour of new and competing entrants
in Britain's energy market. Today's ruling shows that energy
companies who hold and abuse positions of market dominance
will face the full force of regulatory action and the law."
Today's ruling follows an earlier decision in April 2009 in
favour of Ofgem by the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
