The UK set record levels of new solar and onshore wind projects in its latest renewables auction, sending a strong signal of confidence in the country’s clean energy transition. Nevertheless, delivering new low carbon technology, from nuclear to biofuels, at the scale necessary to meet CP30 targets remains far from straightforward.
This webinar examines how to overcome constraints, from the grid to supply chain bottlenecks to rising costs, and how to attract the capital, resources and support required to secure the UK’s clean energy future.
- What role does low-carbon technology play in securing the UK’s energy future?
- How long will Contracts for Difference remain an effective investment mechanism?
- The return of onshore wind: can policy and planning reforms unlock rapid deployment?
- Delivering nuclear: can planned projects like Sizewell C stay on schedule and budget?
- Scaling solar: how will rooftop and commercial solar impact capacity and grid stability?
- How soon can the grid be transformed to better handle new energy sources?
- Mind the gap: how can supply chain bottlenecks and skills shortages be overcome?
- Can hydropower, geothermal and biofuels secure a meaningful role in the UK energy mix?
