A new poll commissioned by industry trade body RenewableUK has shown that the majority of the British public find blocks and delays to renewable energy developments “frustrating” and support greater energy infrastructure development

Three organisations from across the energy and planning sectors have come together to examine how the UK’s renewable energy planning system could be improved to hit renewable energy capacity targets.

Industry body RenewableUK published a report today (17 June) showing that global offshore wind operational capacity has increased by over a fifth in the last year.

The UK won’t meet its offshore wind targets until 2048, according to research from the Institute for Public Policy and Research (IPPR).

RenewableUK Cymru has called on the next government to fast-track Wales’ transition to renewable energy in its 2024 manifesto.

New research by the trade association RenewableUK has shown that offshore wind will dominate the lowest-cost electricity system in 2035.

The report claims that the reason for the UK’s small percentage of co-location is that policy and regulation are hindering the growth of such projects.

The IGP draws attention to the potential impact of incorporating automation and AI technologies in new projects.

Labour has thrown its weight behind offshore floating wind deeming the UK can become a “world leader” for the technology.

RenewableUK, CPRE and Aldersgate Group will examine the planning system and identify where changes are needed to facilitate net zero.
