More than half of clean energy schemes needed for Labour’s 2030 target offered grid connection

Over 700 renewable energy projects in Great Britain have been offered grid connection dates after a two-year process to resolve infrastructure bottlenecks. This unblocks more than half the clean energy schemes needed to meet the government's 2030 clean power targets.

This infrastructure breakthrough is essential for Europe's climate commitments and demonstrates how removing regulatory bottlenecks can accelerate the energy transition at scale.

The 700 projects include wind and solar farms, battery storage, gas and hydro plans More than half the renewable energy projects needed to meet the government’s clean power targets by 2030 are now able to plug into the electricity grid after years of delay, according to the system operator. The National Energy System Operator (Neso) has offered more than 700 clean energy projects in Great Britain a grid connection date since the start of the year, after a two-year process to unblock a bottleneck that threatened to delay projects into the 2030s.
