Louis Stansfield of AFRY explains how the location of wind generation and the limits of Great Britain’s transmission network lead to curtailment, replacement generation and rising balancing costs. Recorded at Montel’s UK Energy Day 2026 at the QEII Centre, London, on 10 November 2026, this presentation forms part of the session on geopolitics and security of supply. Speaker: Louis Stansfield, Principal Consultant, AFRY Management Consulting. Topics coveredThe concentration of wind generation in Scotland and the transmission boundaries that restrict flows towards demand.Why managing a constraint can require wind generation to turn down and other generation to increase elsewhere, with different costs for each action.AFRY’s renewable deployment outlook and comparisons with Clean Power 2030 targets and system-operator scenarios.How batteries and long-duration energy storage can help with constraints, and why storage capacity and duration limit their contribution.Planned high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission links, construction timelines and uncertainty over when reinforcement will relieve congestion.Stansfield closes by considering the balance between grid investment, renewable support and consumer bills. The discussion includes contracts for difference and a question on whether zonal pricing could return to the policy debate.
