The Onshore Wind Industry Taskforce met for the first time this week, chaired by the Energy Secretary and Matthieu Hue, our CEO. The Taskforce will drive action across industry and Government to unblock barriers to rapidly increase onshore wind capacity. It follows off the back of yesterday's announcement increasing the budget for this year’s renewables auction. Commenting on the first meeting, Matthieu said: “Onshore wind is already playing a vital role in the UK and is one of the most cost-effective forms of new electricity generation but more must be done to unlock its full potential. By bringing industry and government together, the taskforce is focused on creating practical solutions to overcome barriers to accelerate our journey to achieving net zero. So, let’s get to work.” https://ow.ly/pa4a50SP6Gi #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #OnshoreWind #OnshoreWindTaskforce

Here's a statement from Matthieu Hue, our Chief Executive, following the announcement from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the increase in the Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 6 budget: “It is great to see that the government has taken action by increasing the budget for this year’s renewable energy auction. We must accelerate the deployment of renewables to meet our net zero targets and the Contract for Difference is a key mechanism to enable this. “This is good news not just for the renewables industry but for the entire UK, as it means we will be able to deliver greater amounts of clean energy, lower bills and energy security. “We would have liked to have seen a greater budget increase for floating offshore wind, as we believe it will play a pivotal role in the UK’s ability to reach our climate change targets. “We look forward to continuing to work with UK government to meet 2030 ambitions.” https://lnkd.in/ebCbeHcf #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #OffshoreWind #FLOW
