We would have a new interconnector with France and could and should have another with the United Kingdom. The supply of power would pretty much match exactly the power we would lose from the peat and coal fired power stations. The gas fired stations are under-utilised and not profitable. We have a large fleet of modern CCGT to match our renewables. We could run the country tomorrow with wind energy and gas supplies and through interconnections without a problem.
