So, the DEI picks at NG ESO are charged with turning 'credible' grid decarbonisation 2030 scenarios into "fully costed plans" by calculating the costs and benefits of untested, even non-existent technology - to be delivered to Stark Raving Mad and Mr. Milibean within 3 months. Popcorn please.

"Decarbonising the grid" does not, in and of itself, involve any load increase, it's the replacement of gas and petrol/diesel demand for Net Zero that does that. But of course, 2030 is not only the lunatic target for a decarbonised grid, it's supposedly a key stepping stone on the way to full Net Zero by 2050. We're supposed to have 600,000 x 6y (3.6m) newly installed heat pumps by then, and most of our cars are supposed to be electric.

As all your readers know only too well, none of this is going to happen, but a lot of corrupt neo-Marxist grifters are going to get very rich along the way.

Jail is too good for theses scumbags.
