MED will acquire and develop a portfolio of flexible, small scale, multiple Reserve Power generation plants throughout the UK producing 300 MW of safe and clean power through natural gas. This will be fed into the National Grid to contribute to stable electricity provision and help prevent future shortages by balancing out the national grid at critical times and thereby reducing future blackouts events. The sites targeted by MED are too small on their own to interest any of the medium or large power producers, offering an opportunity to MED to build up to 300 MW in a very short space of time.
