Government unveils Energy White Paper - Industry responds

Image: Shutterstock The government has published its Energy White Paper in a bid to clean up the UK energy system and provide a roadmap to net zero. The policy paper builds on the Prime Minister’s ten-point plan for clean energy, aimed at creating more than 200,000 jobs in the UK. But what does the industry think? Scale and opportunity of the energy transition is revealed Emma Pinchbeck, Chief Executive at Energy UK, said: “Today’s White Paper reveals the scale and opportunity of the energy transition, with aims in it to at least double the amount of clean electricity produced today, start making our homes warmer and greener, and help the switch to electric vehicles (EVs).”

UK clings to blighted nuclear as Energy White Paper charts course for net-zero

14 December 2020 10:22 GMT Updated 14 December 2020 12:15 GMT The UK government was slammed for clinging to nuclear as part of its decarbonisation strategy, as it released its long-delayed Energy White Paper on Monday. The Energy White Paper – the country’s first since 2003 – is seen as crucial to providing a legislative framework to underpin a blizzard of policies unveiled so far this year, including a pledge to quadruple offshore wind capacity to 40GW by 2030, as the UK hones its plans to hit its 2050 net-zero target that s among the world s most ambitious and meet power demand that s expected to double by mid-century. The White Paper puts offshore wind at the core of a push for Britain to “have overwhelmingly decarbonised power in the 2030s” – but controversially also confirmed it will continue to look at options to finance “at least one” new nuclear project in the current five-year parliament.

Heat on NZ from unlikely climate champion

Heat on NZ from unlikely climate champion Newsroom 13/12/2020 © Provided by Newsroom Criticism of New Zealand’s performance on climate change is growing – and it’s coming from the unlikeliest of places, with interesting lessons for New Zealand’s political ecosystem, writes Pete McKenzie At a climate conference in November the British High Commissioner to New Zealand, Laura Clarke, delivered a difficult truth. “There is also a gap – if you’ll forgive me for saying it, as a friend, and someone who has married one of your own – between [New Zealand’s climate] ambition and reality… You have Scandinavian ambitions in terms of quality of life and public services, but a US attitude to tax. The brand 100% Pure New Zealand lulled many into a false sense of security, when the environmental reality is far more challenging.”
