	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>The vast bulk of GB peak electricity needs are now secured through the Capacity Market. The amount of diesel that wins capacity agreements in each auction varies depending on the price bid and National Grid has not broken the capacity down to identify only diesel for the current delivery year. However, around 1.45% (789 MW) of the capacity agreements held for 2017/18 are in the Open Cycle Gas Turbine &amp; Reciprocating Engine (Diesel) category, which would include diesel generators.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, National Grid maintain balancing reserves on standby, including generating capacity in the form of the Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR), and Fast Reserve. These are secured through tender rounds which run three times a year for STOR and monthly for the Fast Reserve. Amounts to be procured varying according to need and National Grid do not routinely maintain a breakdown by fuel type for successful tenders. However, a fuel type analysis of STOR* was published for the period 27/10/14-2/2/15 which showed that diesel amounted to 743MW, or 22%, of the STOR procured in that season.</p><p>*<a href="https://www.nationalgrid.com/sites/default/files/documents/STOR%20%20Fuel%20Type%20Analysis%20Summary%20%28By%20Capacity%29%20-%20Season%208.5%20-%20Final_0.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.nationalgrid.com/sites/default/files/documents/STOR%20%20Fuel%20Type%20Analysis%20Summary%20%28By%20Capacity%29%20-%20Season%208.5%20-%20Final_0.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 02/05/2018 17:00:16 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
