Plus hell be tasked with \the hardest job in the country\ - manually making the second-by-second adjustments required to balance the nations supply of electricity with its ever-changing demand. Guy will also drive to the very end of the National Grid - the Orkney Islands - and find out how the worlds biggest tidal generator and a fledgling hydrogen economy are teaching the world about future fuels. Additionally, hell investigate what part nuclear has to play in keeping the countrys lights on and will put in a shift at Hinkley Point C, the nuclear building site reputed to cost £7m a day to run.
