The consultation issued on the 20^th September 2011 explores the issues that National Grid as System Operator has encountered when faced with increasing quantities of intermittent and inflexible generation. A separate consultation which has recently closed, discusses how the operation of the Great Britain transmission system is fundamentally changing in the next 10 years, moving from a relatively predictable generation and demand base to one that includes a significant level of renewable generation.
