Collectively, these engines are now generating a total of about 11 gigawatts of shaft power. |
It is installing 150 gigawatts of electricity generating capacity, double the UK's total capacity. |
Today, present installed U.S. electrical capacity is at 600 gigawatts of power. |
That would push Britain's installed thermal power base from the existing 76 gigawatts to 120 gigawatts. |
If the best existing dams were upgraded to generate electricity they could generate 17 gigawatts of power. |
On current plans, over the next two decades, the UK will lose around nine gigawatts of generation capacity, as the old nuclear reactors are closed down. |
