Abstract
This paper considers the challenges involved in financing new electricity generating capacity in Great Britain in the light of government-backed carbon reduction initiatives. Impacts of carbon costs on electricity prices, the economics of various types of generation and the implications of the renewables obligations are discussed. The paper considers whether new nuclear generating capacity will be economically viable in the UK and its cost effectiveness in terms of reducing carbon emissions relative to wind power.
