U.K. Blackout: One Lightning Strike Sparks a Cascade of Probes
(Bloomberg) -- The lightning strike that triggered Britain’s biggest blackout in more than a decade has also spawned a flurry of investigations by groups ranging from the government to railway operators.National Grid Plc’s preliminary report published by the regulator Ofgem on Tuesday indicated that lightning was the initial cause for the Aug. 9 event. That quelled some of the early blame in the national press that the blackout was due to the variability of wind farms, a symbol of the country’s increasingly diversified electricity system.Lightning strikes cause faults on the transmission network throughout the year, but usually don’t set off the chaos seen earlier this month, according to Keith Bell, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Strathclyde.“Provided network protection operates correctly, no generation should be lost from the system as a consequence of such faults,” Bell said. “One main question now is exactly why protection or control equipment at the two generators responded as they did and caused the loss of generation.”Over the coming weeks, a wave of probes are set to get to the bottom of what exactly happened and who is to blame.

Ofgem launches investigation into UK power outage
Britain’s energy regulator has launched an investigation into whether National Grid and 12 local electricity network companies breached their licence conditions after power cuts earlier this month that affected more than a million homes and businesses in England and Wales. It is the first time Ofgem has launched a formal probe into the cause of a power cut in Britain. It will examine whether National Grid holds sufficient reserves of back-up power that can respond rapidly to avoid similar outages in future.

Greta Thunberg, on German coal mine visit, questions 2038 fuel exit date
Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, on a visit to a German anti-coal protest camp, questioned whether the country should continue to use the fuel to generate power for another 20 years as the government plans. Thunberg, the most visible spokeswoman of the Fridays for Future movement of students striking to demand climate action, was talking to reporters at the western German Hambach forest near Cologne. The area has become a symbol of protest against the coal industry, prompting utility RWE to give assurances it would not touch the forest until late 2020, although it had hoped to clear it for brown coal mining and burning activities.

Power outage hits large parts of England and Wales
Large parts of England and Wales suffered power cuts on Friday night after a major network failure, affecting around 1m people and causing widespread disruption to trains and roads ahead of a busy weekend for holiday travel. The loss of power lasted for under an hour before it was restored but the disruption continued into the evening. The National Grid electricity system operator said: “This evening we had an unexpected and unusual event, the loss of two generators that connect to the GB transmission system, which led to a fall in the frequency of the electricity system.

U.K. Left With Just Four Coal Power Plants After RWE Announces Closure
(Bloomberg) -- The U.K. will soon be down to four coal-fired power plants after RWE AG announced plans to close a major facility in southern Wales next year.The German utility will cease work by the end of March at the Aberthaw power station. The unit was opened in 1971 and has the capacity to generate 1,560 megawatts of electricity, enough for more than 1.5 million homes.The move marks another step to reach the government’s goal of eliminating coal as a fuel for power generation by 2025. The Conservative administration as well as the major opposition parties have backed measures to reduce net fossil fuel emissions to zero by the middle of the century.Heavy costs imposed on releasing pollution helped speed up the decision to close the plant in Wales. Britain participates in the European Union emissions cap-and-trade system and will maintain levies on polluters after exiting the group. Those tariffs have encouraged generators to use more wind and solar power at the expense of coal.“Market conditions made this decision necessary,” Roger Miesen, chief executive officer of RWE Generation said in a statement.Britain fueled its industrial revolution with coal starting in the mid-1800s. In more recent years, it’s encouraged cleaner forms of energy, especially wind and nuclear reactors, as an alternative.Coal plants failed to win contracts to sell their electricity in the U.K. capacity market auction in June, which that cleared at a record-low price of 77 pence per kilowatt-hour a year, according to data from National Grid Plc.RWE’s decision follows SSE Plc, which said earlier this year that it would close its only remaining coal power plant next year as well because it wasn’t profitable anymore. Electricite de France SA is shutting its Cottam plant in September. The Aberthaw Power Station will transfer its existing capacity market agreements for the years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 to third parties and a small proportion to other units in RWE’s fleet, according to a statement from the company on Thursday. The facility directly employs about 170 people.Closing that plant will leave one coal power plant operating in Northern Ireland and two smaller ones in Britain, at West Burton and Ratcliffe. Another two coal generation units owned by Drax Group Plc will be converted to gas in the next two years.To contact the reporter on this story: William Mathis in London at wmathis2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Reed Landberg at landberg@bloomberg.net, Andrew ReiersonFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

REFILE-INSIGHT-Does renewables pioneer Germany risk running out of power?
Germany, a poster child for responsible energy, is renouncing nuclear and coal. The country, the biggest electricity market in the European Union, is abandoning nuclear power by 2022 due to safety concerns compounded by the Fukushima disaster and phasing out coal plants over the next 19 years to combat climate change. In the next three years alone conventional energy capacity is expected to fall by a fifth, leaving it short of the country's peak power demand.

German economy ministry expects law on coal exit by end of year
The German Economy Ministry said on Thursday it expected a law on the country's coal exit to be decided by the end of the year, adding talks with utility RWE - which wants billions of euros in compensation - were progressing constructively. Under proposals hammered out by a government-appointed commission earlier this year, Germany is to fully phase out coal as an energy source by 2038, hitting operators of such plants including RWE, Germany's largest electricity producer. The ministry said the talks with RWE were at an advanced stage.

"These targets for offshore wind already need constant monitoring and reviewing," Groebler said in an interview with Reuters.
