No, not at all. The sector is changing, and while gas plants today may look the same on the outside, what we ask of them and how they operate is now very different. Modern gas generation plays a supporting role in a broader system that includes a high share of renewables. Increasingly, it will be there to provide flexibility and backup only when it is needed most.
Rather than being in conflict with decarbonisation, gas is increasingly part of how we deliver a secure and reliable decarbonised power system. If we want security and resilience alongside decarbonisation, we need solutions that include both renewables and firm capacity.
