GENERATION There are three main characteristics of electric supply that have a critical effect on the manner on which

they are generated. 1. Electricity unlike gas or water cannot be stored and the supplier has little or no control over the load. Control engineers try to keep the output from the generator equal to the connected load at a specified voltage and frequency. This can be rather hard due to the fact the load varies and different times. 2. The demand of power continues to increase, even modest 3. Districution (ibya incident)

According to the Department of energy and climate change, the following statics are for electricity generation in the UK over the years .

From looking at figure 1 and 2 You can see that the sources uses to generate electricity
