‘The rapid growth of the population and increase in the number of data centres hasn’t helped. In recent years we’ve had to procure high-cost, high-emission, emergency gas generation to plug the gap between demand and supply.’ He also said we ‘still rely on gas to generate over 40% of our electricity, the price of which is still close to double normal levels, as the effects of the ban on Russian gas have left a huge impact on the market’.
