Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, has thrown his weight behind the development of new onshore wind and renewables in a bid to reduce energy bills.
Hydrogen could play a vitally important role in the decarbonisation of the UK power system by providing flexibility services as a cheaper alternative to gas-fired flexible generation, Aurora Energy Research said.
A revised draft of National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) was released this week detailing how the Scottish Government expects planners to treat onshore and offshore developments in the renewable energy industry.
New analysis from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has shown that wind, hydro and solar has generated 13TWh since the beginning of October, saving 27TWh of gas that would otherwise have been required.
The Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) has indicated the UK’s renewable industry has shown “great resilience and ingenuity” with the government having failed to match its net zero commitments.
