M-RCBG Associate Working Paper No. 240
Date of Publication: August 2024

Executive Summary

The UK Government has committed to decarbonising the power system by 2035. The Labour Party intends to reach this goal sooner, by 2030. Achieving either goal requires an unprecedented increase in the delivery of renewable energy and transmission infrastructure. This will require communities across the UK to accept new energy assets at a pace and scale never experienced before.
