Decarbonisation of UK Grid by 2030
https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/decarbonisation-of-uk-grid-by-2030/
The National Energy System Operator’s (NESO) have issued a report in which they say the UK’s goal to decarbonise its electricity grid by 2030 and provide clean power might be “a huge challenge” but that it is “credible”, “achievable” and “will put Great Britain in a strong position”.
NESO say that achieving out green energy ambitions will require speeding up the current sluggish planning system.
They say we must triple our offshore wind capacity, double onshore wind capacity, and triple solar power to meet the target. If we do the UK could even become a net exporter of renewable energy by the end of the 2020s!
