Senior Electrical Engineer questions political risk of Czisch type supergrid
Posted by: | CommentsBernard is a senior electrical engineer and has sat on many generation industry committees. He writes:
“I unfortunately missed the House of Commons presentation. I think we all agree the we could overcome technical problems at a price. However how do we overcome the political risk ? In the coal, nuclear, oil and gas areas this is dealt with by storage and multi sourcing. I don’t know how we factor in the cost of occupying a country while alternative supplies are built – even if it were possible. Any comments”
