Britain's ambitious carbon targets require that electricity be immediately and aggressively decarbonised, so it is reassuring to report that electricity sector emissions have fallen 46% in the three years to June 2016, their lowest since 1960. This paper analyses the factors behind this fall and the impacts they are having.

- Short-term integration costs of variable renewable energy: Wind curtailment and balancing in Britain and Germany (2018, methodology): “We calculated the level of curtailment for 44 Scottish onshore farms and 18 offshore farms in England and Wales for the period 2012–16 using the method in [57], detailed in Appendix E.”
- Varieties of coal-fired power phase-out across Europe (2019, background): “Employment in coal mining fell from 49.000 in 1990 to 10.000 by 1996 (Turnheim and Geels, 2012), as the dash for gas saw 100 TWh a year of coal-fired power generation and about 40 million tonnes of coal replaced by CCGT's (Staffell, 2017).”
