Energy policy changes will lead to more low efficiency gas power stations

  • 19/04/2000

The UK Government's decision to lift restrictions on inefficient types of gas fired power stations is unlikely to bring significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, according to environmentalists. The decision by the Government to allow the construction of more gas fired power stations would merely lead to a greater number of the more inefficient type of gas power station and would probably not make a significant impact on reductions in UK CO2 emissions, environmentalists have told edie.
