dash for gas : ウィキペディア英語版
dash for gas
The Dash for Gas was the 1990s shift by the newly privatized electric companies in the United Kingdom towards generation of electricity using natural gas.
The key reasons for this shift were:〔Past & Future Dash for Gas in the UK (presentation to the IEA/IGU ('Future of Gas for Power Generation' workshop, Paris, June 14th 2004) )〕 (a) political: the privatisation of the UK electricity industry in 1990; the regulatory change that allowed gas to be used as a fuel for power generation; (b) economic: the high interest rates of the time, which favoured gas turbine power stations, which were quick to build, over coal and nuclear power stations, which were larger but slower to build; the decline in wholesale gas prices; the desire by the regional electricity companies to diversify their sources of electricity supply and establish a foothold in the profitable generation market; (c) technical: advances in electricity generation technology (specifically combined cycle gas turbine generators (CCGT) with higher relative efficiencies and lower capital costs. An underpinning factor in the dash for gas was the recent development of North Sea gas.
In 1990, gas turbine power stations made up 5% of the UK's generating capacity. By 2002, the new CCGT power stations made up 28% UK generating capacity; gas turbines accounted for a further 2%. It is estimated the Dash for Gas cost £11bn.〔Estimate from Climate Change Capital analysis, quoted in 'Unlocking investment to deliver Britain’s low carbon future: report by the Green Investment Bank Commission. June 2010〕
Gas-fired power stations with more than 30 MW installed capacity commissioned between 1990 and 2002 are listed below.〔Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics; Table 5.11: Power stations in the United Kingdom, May 2011〕
