<p>Electricity generation in the U.K. is privatised and the decisions on spare step-up
transformers are for the individual generator businesses. Electricity transmission
operations in the U.K. are private, regulated businesses. Decisions on spare transmission
connected transformers are matters for the transmission businesses, to meet the licence
conditions under which they operate; they form an important component in the provision
of reliability of supply. The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not hold
data on generator step-up transformer or transmission connected transformer quantities
held as spares by industry.</p>
