Marginal emissions displacement was calculated from operational data for 2009–2014. Existing estimates of emissions displacement are generally low. Emissions displacement is a function of the relative merit of coal and CCGT plants. Policies to penalise high-carbon generation should increase emissions displacement. Wind almost as effective as demand-reduction at reducing emissions.
