Earlier this year, something extraordinary happened to the UK's energy grid. For one day in June, a record 70 per cent of the electricity produced in the UK was low-carbon. That day was dubbed 'stunning Sunday' by one grid manager, because the carbon intensity of producing power moved below 100g of CO_2 per kilowatt hour for the first time. This is the level that Britain must hit daily by 2030 if it is to meet its renewable energy goal of cutting emissions by 57 per cent, compared with 1990 levels, in just 13 years.
