2.9.3<br />

Accelerated Growth<br />

Figure 2.9.3 illustrates the changing embedded<br />

generation capacity mix for Accelerated Growth.<br />

This scenario assumes higher fuel and carbon<br />

prices than the Gone Green scenario and<br />

some significant improvements to planning and<br />

technology which results in much stronger growth<br />

over the period to 2032.<br />

As in Gone Green wind sees the largest<br />

increase over the period with total growth<br />

of 7.9 GW.<br />

CHP and Biomass show the next largest<br />

increases following wind with total increases<br />

of 4.6 GW and 3.4 GW respectively.<br />

Hydro generation increases steadily from<br />

current levels of 500 MW to approximately<br />

900 MW by the end of the period.<br />

Marine embedded generation capacity<br />

increases by a total of 1.7 GW over the<br />

period to 2032.<br />
