Where can I find emission standards for power stations?

Emissions from power stations in the UK are regulated by the Environment Agency. For further information please see their website www.environment-agency.gov.uk

What are average UK power station emissions in kg/kWh

Please refer to the UK emission factors section in the Data warehouse on the NAEI website. Emission factors for NO₂, SO₂ and CO₂ can be downloaded in terms of Ktonnes per Mtonnes or Mtherms consumed. To convert these emission factor units into kg/kWh please use the conversion factors provided in the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) which can be downloaded from the DTI website.

Is it possible to get day variations data for power stations for UK?

We don't hold this information but if you look at the National Grid website, they have supply and demand data which can give you data on power supplied by power stations in the UK.
