Next Episode of Guy Martin's Great British Power Trip is
unknown.
Guy Martin investigates how Britain makes its power and why it costs so much.
This first episode begins with Guy testing every piece of equipment in his workshop to find out which items use the most electricity. Horrified by what he's now having to pay for power, he tries to work out the reasons behind his big bills, and visits his local power station at Drax - which also happens to be the country's biggest.
Guy Martin visits the most important place in the entire national grid - the central control room - where electricity is bought, sold and routed every single second of the day. Temporarily tasked with the challenging job of keeping the country's lights on, Guy spends thousands of pounds in just a few minutes balancing the electricity supply-and-demand market, before his attention turns to the rise of renewable energy. He works with the army, who are pioneering a new solar-powered workshop, before embarking on the gruelling training required to become an off-shore wind farm technician.
What does the future of UK energy look like? Guy helps build a nuclear power station, conducts an experiment in fusion, and goes to work inside Britain's most toxic site.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
