MSP kWh is the amount of electricity consumed at the 'meter supply point', which is the customer's meter. GSP kWh is obtained by multiplying the MSP kWh by the Line Loss Factor (LLF, a figure > 1) to include the amount of electricity lost when it is conducted through the distribution network, from the 'grid supply point' to the customer's meter.
The Feed-In Tariff applies to small-scale generation of electricity using eligible renewable technologies. To encourage development of these technologies, feed-in tariffs pay the generator a certain amount – even for energy which the generator themselves consumes. [6] Electricity fed into the grid receives an additional export tariff.
The UK historically had a coal-driven grid that generated large amounts of CO 2 and other pollutants including SO 2 and nitrogen oxides, leading to some acid rain found in Norway and Sweden. Coal plants had to be fitted with scrubbers which added to costs. [109] In 2019 the electricity sector of the UK emitted 0.256 kg of CO 2 per kWh of ...
The UK's first large scale use of the 'unit boiler' with reheat at Dunston B power station, with a boiler dedicated to a turbo-alternator set. [5] 1952 The ±100 kV DC submarine cable link between UK and France was commissioned, designed to transfer 160 MW in either direction between Dungeness and Boulogne (30 miles). It was decommissioned in 1982.
Generators contribute to the costs of running the system by paying for TEC, at the generation TNUoS tariffs set by NGET. This is charged on a maximum-capacity basis. In other words, a generator with 100 MW of TEC who only generated at a maximum rate of 75 MW during the year would still be charged for the full 100 MW of TEC. [citation needed]
