Renewables should be high on new UK government’s agenda as climate conference beckons – SSE – Energy Voice

To realise the new goal of 40GW of offshore wind by 2030, we need Government to provide a steady stream of new CfD auctions out to 2030, and indeed beyond if we are to deliver on the broader ambition of net zero emissions by 2050. But there’s more that Government will need to do at the micro level to support renewable energy; by addressing issues such as planning gridlock, electricity grid constraints and aviation restrictions, the road to net zero can be made all the smoother. And in the very immediate term, industry and Government will also need to collaborate on the repowering of onshore wind farms as they reach the end of their natural lives, which in some cases is not too far away.
