A Department of Energy and Climate Change spokesman said:

‘The electricity system always has more generating capacity available than the expected demand. By having a diverse energy mix, we can manage the fact that some technologies are intermittent.’

The sort of statement that should be associated with a long jail sentence, followed swiftly by the dim-witted journalist whose inability to challenge it is probably the worse crime.
