Navigating your way to net zero is not easy. However, people like Rachel Cary from Energy UK are working hard to share best practice and campaign for more support for businesses. You can read our Q&A with Rachel here ➡️ https://nbs.energy/40dQvmt
We’re calling for the Chancellor to be bold in this week’s Autumn Budget and set the Government on course to achieve its energy and economic growth missions. Here are the three key themes we believe the Government should focus on: 1. Powering economic growth through the Clean Energy Superpower mission 2. Unblocking the blockers: delivering changes to planning, network connections, supply chain and skills 3. Delivering warmer homes, support for households and a smarter energy system. Read our recommendations for the Government’s Autumn Budget: https://lnkd.in/eRvGC3sv #OctoberBudget #CleanPower2030 #MissionPossible #EnergyMatters HM Treasury Alt text: Slide one: Energy recommendations for the Autumn Budget Slide 2: Power economic growth through the Clean Energy Superpower mission Achieving the Government’s mission of becoming a clean energy superpower will require an unprecedented buildout of low-carbon generation and networks. We should not lose sight of the importance of tackling demand either. Slide 3: Unblock the blockers: Planning, networks, supply chains and skills The grid connections queue has grown significantly to more than 700GW (roughly four times what we need) and connection timelines can be as long as 14 years. This is a significant blocker to investment. Slide 4: Deliver warmer homes and a smarter energy system Energy prices are around 50% higher than pre-crisis levels. Longer-term solutions are required for the energy retail market and some households need immediate support this winter.

MPs can play a crucial role this winter in helping households struggling with energy bills. Alongside Citizens Advice and Scope, we hosted a drop-in event at Parliament today to share a toolkit that signposts the right resources for constituents who need support with energy bills - plus up-to-date information on the support offered by energy suppliers. Explore the toolkit: https://lnkd.in/ggTxTjTP It was great to welcome Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, Minister for Energy Consumers, at our energy affordability drop-in this morning along with lots of other MPs very interested in how they can support their constituents. #EnergyBills #EnergyPriceCap Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
Congratulations to our member Last Energy for announcing the development of its first micro-nuclear project in the UK. The Llynfi Clean Energy Project will consist of four 20 MWe units which will generate enough clean energy to power 244,000 homes when operational. The project will invest £30 million into the supply chain in South Wales and create more than 100 full-time jobs. Nuclear power will play a key role in supporting the decarbonisation of the UK’s grid, providing clean power and energy security, while at the same time supporting local communities.

Happy European Heat Pump Day! A common heat pump misconception is that the technology is only suitable in newer buildings, but our member Kensa Group is proving it can help decarbonise heating in a wide range of homes. Last week, we got to tour the newly refurbished Sutton Dwellings in Chelsea - built in 1913 and retrofitted with heat pumps in 2024. Read the case study: https://lnkd.in/eGZVcAhu Pictured below: A Kensa shoebox heat pump installed in one of the Dwellings, and the Energy UK team visiting the site. #HeatPumps #DecarboniseHeat #HeatPumpDay
The new Government has passed its 100-day milestone. In this time, it has made considerable progress in helping to unlock Britain’s clean energy potential. This includes ending the de facto ban on onshore wind; increasing the budget for AR6; investing £22 billion in carbon capture, utilisation and storage; and announcing a new financing scheme for long duration energy storage. We’re glad to see these developments in such a short space of time, but the scale of the challenge ahead is huge. Our Mission Possible report recommends areas that the Government should focus on to make Britain a clean energy superpower. Follow the Government’s progress against our recommendations and see what is yet to be done in our tracker. 🖱️ https://lnkd.in/eNRP2_dp #CleanEnergy #NetZero #OnshoreWind #LDES #MissionPossible
