We are two weeks into the new Government and we already had a raft of announcements through the King's Speech and the Secretary of State's Statement in the Commons today. What does it all mean and how does it fit together? ✉ Short version: Driven by the 2030 mission and recognising that making the UK a renewables superpower will spur economic growth, we are seeing a strong focus on deploying more renewable technologies faster - including by lifting the de facto ban on onshore wind in England and ensuring AR6 enables us to build as much homegrown renewable energy as possible. An AR6 that clears most of the sizeable pipeline of eligible projects will be the first test for the Government. These announcements build on the Climate Change Committee's Progress Report to Parliament yesterday, telling us that we're currently not on track to reduce UK emissions by 68% to 2030 - only a third of those emissions reductions are currently covered by credible plans. We are also seeing the institutional governance take shape through the introduction of the GB Energy Bill, the National Wealth Fund Bill and The Crown Estate Bill, all of which will be aimed at crowding in private capital to support the energy transition. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill will also aim to reduce planning delays and ensure that infrastructure buildout is at the heart of the Government's programme. What else has been announced? 🍃 The de facto ban on onshore wind in England has been lifted and an Onshore Wind Industry Taskforce has been announced, to rebuild the pipeline of onshore wind projects after a hiatus of nearly a decade. 🏦 GB Energy has been placed on a statutory footing, with £8.3bn of capitalisation. The institution will work with the private sector to finance deployment of key technologies and support community ownership of energy infrastructure through local power plans. 💷 The National Wealth Fund has been placed on a statutory footing. It will allocate £7.3bn through the UK Infrastructure Bank to crowd in private investment into the transition. Ensuring the NWF delivers through UKIB is welcome, as it could consolidate the financial support and capital deployment across the energy space. 🌊 The Crown Estate Bill will enhance TCE's borrowing and investment powers to accelerate offshore wind deployment. 🏭 The Planning and Infrastructure Bill will accelerate deployment of key infrastructure, including in the energy and housing sectors. It will also bring forward new National Policy Statements and simplify consenting. 🌳 A land use framework from Defra that will go with the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan, providing greater clarity on the location of our generation assets, sources of demand, and the network we need to build to support our evolving energy system. 👥 Communities will benefit from hosting energy infrastructure, but this will not come at the expense of building generation and transmission assets in a timely way.

RenewableUK are very excited to be playing a key role in the newly announced Onshore Wind Industry Taskforce! We’re ready to work closely with the government to achieve its target of doubling onshore wind capacity across the UK by 2030, to cut electricity bills and boost our nation’s energy security. This ambitious collaborative effort will involve industry, national and devolved governments, businesses and communities working together to find a new way forward. There is a clear mandate for this, as government polling shows that 78% of the public support onshore wind. The Taskforce will identify current barriers and practical solutions to deploying this vital technology, such as improvements to resourcing in the planning system, reducing waits for grid connections and developing opportunities for supply chain companies. The announcement of the Taskforce demonstrates strong backing for onshore wind from Westminster, which will support the continuing deployment of projects in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as we work hard to kickstart the pipeline in England. #onshorewind #renewables #taskforce #wind #onshore https://lnkd.in/ee9-TjGQ
